English will be a pro drop language sooner or later, may as well get used to it. Will not be much of a loss (not lack of it). When spoken, inhale during "pronoun break time" and nobody skips a beat.

I wonder if this is a reanalysis of initial clipping. English lets you do some pretty aggressive deletion of initial segments of an utterance, and in many many cases that ends up being just a pronoun.. hmm
