The AoE community's English pidgin

Has anyone else noticed that we seem to have built up our own little pidgin language? I've been noticing this more and more lately and I find it really interesting. Our community consists of players from all over the world, of course, many or even most of whom do not speak English as a first language. Nonetheless we seem to have picked English as our lingua franca, but we've simplified it into a pidgin.

What really got me was when I realized that I've started using it although I'm a native English speaker, and that many other fluent speakers (like Viper or Slam) use it as well, for communicating with other players.

Here are the rules of our pidgin that I've noticed:

1. Only present tense. In the pidgin we don't say "he lost" or "he will attack," we often say "he lose," or "he attack." We infer the tense from context and never conjugate the verbs.

2. Wherever it's possible to, use only singular nouns. In the pidgin we don't say "make skirms," we say "make skirm" or "make hc." Yet we might say "kts to you" to warn an ally of an attack, keeping the plural because it's important to convey that there's more than one of them. Nobody would interpret "make skirm" as "please make one skirmisher"-- the plurality is implied and can be omitted. The same does not apply to "kts to you," which is different from "kt to you."

3. Interchangeability of pronouns. To tell an ally what an enemy is making, we might just say "him skirm" or "he skirm"-- they're equivalent and the subject/object distinction is thrown out.

4. Omission of verbs and helping verbs wherever possible. "me arch" in normal English would be expressed as "I will be making archers," but we've left out three implied words to reach the shorter yet equivalently informative "me arch." Notice again the interchangeability of pronouns at work, as well-- it doesn't matter that we're using an object pronoun where one might normally expect a subject pronoun. Other examples~ "gg me," "me dead," "army here"

This is just what I've noticed. I wonder if this is particular to our community or if these rules apply to the larger gaming community. I don't really play other games so I can't say. What have you all noticed?
