The European Commission has just announced an
agreement whereby English will be the official
language of the European nation rather than German
that was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's 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 the
"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 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 enkourage the removal of
doubleletters, 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 peopl 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 sensibl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun
vilfind it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a
united urop vil finali kum tru.
If zis mad yu smil, pleas pas it on to oza pepl.
*mentionez ca textul nu imi apartine.
Enjoy!
