Yes, you are correct.

It’s updated in something called “The green book”, new versions got published in 1954 - 1995 - 2005 - 2015.

So for the people having learnt the language before 1995 (like myself), had the rules change 2.5 times (the last one was a minor actualisation). Which means that most of the intuitions you developed are wrong, and people spelling words differently depending on their age.

This was quite confusing for me as a kid haha
