Over time, that is what normally happens to language (even French, yeah looking at you Gauls).

But, English and especially North American English is so predominate in the world, that may stop its otherwise natural development.

/not a linguist just friends with some.

English just needs a new orthography. Languages change in many ways, and phonetic drift is natural, it's just that there hasn't been a spelling reform to accommodate them, and at this point it's gotten out of hand.

Even French? a lot of the horribly spelled words in English are their fault!
