Subject: English will be the offical EU language
Have a nic day!
The 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 re placed 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 sensibl 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.
