European Commission has just announced
an agreement whereby English will be the
official language of the European Union
rather than German, which was the other
possibility.
As part of the
negotiations, the British Government
conceded that English spelling had some
room for improvement and has accepted a
5- year phase-in plan that would become
known as "Euro-English".
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 favour of "k".
This should klear up konfusion, and
keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik
enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced with
"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 enkourage the
removal of double letters which have
always ben a deterent to akurate
speling.
Also, al wil agre that the
horibl mes of the silent "e" in the
languag is disgrasful and it should go
away.
By the 4th yer people wil be
reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th"
with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze
fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd
from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz
fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl
riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl
or difikultis and evrivun
vil find
it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of
a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be
speking German like zey vunted in ze
forst plas.
If zis mad you smil,
pleas pas on to oza pepl.
