EuroEnglish
The European Commission has just announced an agreement that
English will be the official language of the EU - rather than German
(the other possibility).
As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling has some room for improvement, and has accepted a 5- year phase-in of the new rules, which would apply to the language and reclassify it as EuroEnglish.
The agreed plan is as follows:
In year 1, the soft 'c' would be replaced with 's'. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. Also, the hard 'c' will be replaced with 'k'. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan now have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the second year, when the troublesome 'ph' is replaced by 'f'. This will reduse 'fotograf' by 20%!
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expected to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will encourage the removal of all double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling! Also, al wil agre that the horrible mes of the silent 'e's in the language is disgrasful and wil be glad to eliminat them.
By year 4, people wil be reseptiv to lingwistik korektions, such as replasing 'th' with 'z', and 'w' with 'v' (thus saving more keyboard spas!).
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary 'o' can be droped from vords kontaining 'ou' and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz year, ve vil hav a reli sensibil riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis, and evriun vil find it ezi to understand each ozer.
ZE DREM VIL FINALI KUM TRU!!! Ve vil haf konkerd ze verld!!
