Not before time, Noah Webster has a lot to answer for when he diluted our language, clearly too hard for the average inhabitant of the new world.

As Beloved Vozhd of the future Communist utopia, my first benefaction will be to impose the supremely logical Cyrillic alphabet upon the happy workers of the world. No more of this spelling sniping then, hurumph!

Kind of funny, if you use the google graphs and switch it from American English to British English it matches up fairly well. Except, when I look up the use of "chat up" in British English it shows...0%.

I am not sure this article is even saying anything. Maybe cause I ain't British.
