I don't think so. When self duplication becomes commonplaceI don't

Why not? It still works where there are identical twins. And

"I" think that when something that would now take paragraphs to
explain becomes intuitively obvious to everybody on a gut level people
will say things in a language whose grammar is totally different from
anything spoken by anybody living today.Early 21st-century speech will
seem very archaic and naïve to them.
