You think English in the UK hasn't evolved in the last few hundred years?
Not to mention that despite the impact of TV and radio, UK accents are wildly variant and it's pretty much a guarantee that there'll be corners that don't make distinctions between at least two of these words.
There's no such thing as "regular English" in the UK; the Thames Estuary accent is prescriptivism, not regularity.
Sure it did, I'm saying it remained regular.
