Keeping up with words is the job of dictionaries (pretty sure those exist for English), not of language regulation. For German language regulation means stuff like you're allowed to write Foto instead of Photo, but always Physik and never Fysik, or if you combine words like Schiff and Fahrt into Schifffahrt should it be written with two or three f, rules on when to use ß instead of ss and so on.
