FantomOmega It's not a formal part of the language, though. It's colloquial, and if we're extending it that far, then every language just gained a few new words and grammatical structures.

@Zveebo Well, then you've got a problem. Entire dialects of English (grammar, vocabulary and all) are unintelligible to other dialects. Where does that leave them, if some people speaking the same language don't understand? And again, when I say 'formal', of course an arbitrary distinction is drawn, but a spectrum still has two sides. There is a difference between a question-particle and creating an entirely different system of grammar- what qualifies as English?
