I think it has something to do with the languages spoken by the Indians and Chinese.

You can hear it come out when they speak English. Just a string of syllables linked together without any stress, punctuation or intonation where a native English-speaker would place it.

Perl is a lot like English. Java is a lot like a long string of syllables that work just fine as long as you do it exactly the same way every single time. English has many ways to say exactly the same thing. Some ways we "say" something really aren't English at all.

Frank didn't take that money. (took some other money?)
Frank didn't take that money. (took something else perhaps?)
