Webster rails against people who changed words for their own sake:  i.e.
experts, then did it

 

If you can tell me how to explain rationally 

 

Central and center then I will appreciate the help for my children  should
centre not be pronounced centrer if we follow Webster's rule blindly

 

Meter and metre are interchangeable and like all US stuff, they like to
change just to be different.

 

Thought anyway
