What I was saying is that there's this belief that the reason the various sub lines are phrased the way they are is because they stick very close to the original Japanese sentence structure, and that's not really the case.
So then I suppose it's actually more accurate to say that it's Simmons himself who is excessive and verbose.

Probably. I'm not Simmons, so I don't know why he phrased the lines the way he did, all I can say is that the phrasing isn't trying to stick very close to the original Japanese sentence structure.

So did the English dubs.
I don't think they ever used that. The closest they got to that is in the Saban dub of DBZ episode 28 where Mr. Popo says "Kami-san" when Kami dies.

I think he just means that the dub called him "Kami" instead of "God".

Ah, I see.
