I've been saying this since I watched a video on the history of dictionaries in elementary school (I heard that the I before e except after c rule was made by a guy trying to discredit Shakespeare and got interested)
I'm so glad I've been seeing this type of stuff on lemmy. It's refreshing to see people actually understand that these are just recordings of words and how they're spelt and pronounced (with bias and purposeful edits) rather than an actual hard line in the sand.
