Yeah but what the Brits eventually chose should go.
The only other option is to bomb the UK into oblivion and change the language's name to American, and I'm a pacifist, so I'd rather just say it the correct way as the owners dictate without murdering them and declaring the language ours now.
You can have different dialects in the same language. American English is a dialect of English that is different from British English.
