The European Commission have just announced an agreement whereby English
will be the official language of the EU rather than German, which was the
other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's govt conceded
that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5
year phase in plan that would be known as "EuroEnglish": In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".. Sertainly, this will make the
sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favor of the "k".
This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome
"ph" will be replaced with the "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20%
shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the
stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the
removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of
the silent "e"'s in the language is disgraceful, and they should go away.
By the 4th yar, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and
"w" with "v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaiining "ou" and
similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz
yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis
and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.
ZE DREM VIL FINALI KUM TRU!! [lol]:lol:
