English as a language was seen as too easy. So we decided to mix it up.

Why would you ever be the global language of trade and commerce and the go between for multiple nations, whose entire structure is a hodgepodge of latin, Germanic, and mistranslated root structures and made up rules, if you didn't decide to mix it up from time to time and region to region?

Embrace the bastard language standard. This is the way.
