[Corpora-List] Articles on Spelling Variations in English

[True Friend]

Dear Corpora Members
I am looking for (possible) articles/ research papers on the evolution of
American (or any other new variety of English). The purpose is to look for
the scholarly discussions on the use of new spellings (*color* instead of *
colour*) in new Englishes and the criticism/ discussion on this spelling
variation. For example American English has distinct spellings than British
(z-s distinction) but I want to know about the reaction of various scholars
regarding these spelling differences. Did they call these spelling
differences ERRORS? If they classified spelling variations as errors, on
which grounds the claims were justified etc.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Regards
