The only person he talks to on a regular basis is Kat, and it's unclear how much they actually talk. For the most part, he's talking at (not to) an audience of strangers who aren't in any position to talk back. Every day he says basically the same things. In many cases, he repeats the exact same words and phrases again and again, apparently possessing a very small vocabulary. He isn't participating in normal conversation, so he's only experiencing the manner in which he uses words. Plus, he doesn't respond well to criticism, so he never improves. Case in point, I know I heard someone correct him on his use of "penultimate" at some point in the past, yet he still uses it incorrectly. The whole thing is fascinating, and I wonder if any other streamers have had their language devolve in this way. I think that other streamers have an actual active social life outside of streaming. Phil goes out of his way to avoid interaction, and because no one can give him feedback/correct him (and if you dare do that in chat, prepare to be scolded) his way of speaking changes. If you create your own bubble and no one can challenge you, you literally start living in your world. I suppose another aspect to this is that he has no reason to change. As much as we criticize almost everything he does, he's still pulling down 100 grand a year working a very easy (and, in theory, fun) job that he's not even good at. In many ways, his life can be considered very successful, and the fact that he's been able to keep going when all signs pointed to him failing makes it seem as if he'll be able to continue for a long time. He must look at his life and think he's doing things right and has no reason to want to change. He might be one of the luckiest people in the history of humankind. --- Fren Code: 2767-3374-3343 \|\| IGN: Penny \|\| TSV: 3067 \|\| Sig NFT I hate sarcasm.
