Actually, I suspect that language is becoming more 
standardised/standardized[1] over time due to global business and global 
media, and our ancestors had many more quirks than we do today. 
Certainly, you can see in Shakespeare that there are numerous quirks. 
The "correct" spelling of a word and structure of a sentence was a 
concept that didn't really exist until mass printing of dictionaries in 
the mid 19th century.
