I still remember when Portugal harmonized its language with Brazil. It was so shocking to me. Like the British losing the U in colour.

😂😂 portugal is now a state from brazil

It was not really like that. And not all changes were related to merge with how Brasil speaks and write.

Still I write in plain “normal” Portuguese” (I was born there) and in English I always write in British English as I lived there nearly 7 years.
