Then came Noah Webster, and synthesised a dictionary that he hoped everyone would eventually adopt in favour of their local dialects. In it he was trying to remove things that were French-sounding and weren't in Latin (but he overshot and removed too much of it, including some that was in Latin to begin with) or things that in his opinion were needlessly complex. And his plan worked. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Webster#Publication
