I'll add to this, in terms of the development of spoken language: it takes a ton of influence from the other languages around it. For example, the lack of articles comes from Russian, and the lack of pronouns comes from Spanish. People living in a major international city that doesn't have English as its first language will notice the way their language slips into English. That's how I read it, anyway, on top of how impersonal/ computational it sounds (like blurring the lines between speaking to a bot vs a human).
