Good news which will help our Global effort in Europe

Post by SveinR »

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, 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 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 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 vil
find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. If zis mad you
smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl. Zen ve vil rul ze vorld!!
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?

and after the fifth year, we will have a real sensible writing style, there will be know more trouble or difficulties and everyone will find it easy to understand each other. The dream of a united Europe will finally come true. If this mad you smile, please pass on to other people. Then we will rule the world!!

You'll notice I utilized the <nitpick> tag, which allows me to nitpick also in areas not designated for such behaviour...
