Thank goodness we don't have a "language police" in English! That is what makes it such a widespread language, very expressive and flexible. You can create new words, new terms. It absorbs words from other languages freely. As an Australian I write using a mixture of English English and American English spelling, Aboriginal placenames, odd bits of Italian and various other words that work their way into my speech. I prefer it that way and don't really care that I don't even speak the way my grandparents spoke, never mind the 18th century. I can understand English from the time of Chaucer, but I don't need to speak that way.
