[size=18:cf80924bf2][b:cf80924bf2]Subject: English improvement (gud one)[/b:cf80924bf2][/size:cf80924bf2]
The European Commission have just announced an
agreement whereby English will be the official
language of the EU 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 be known as
"EuroEnglish":
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 favor of the
"k".. This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan
have 1 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 enkorage the removal of double
letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate
speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of
the silent "e"'s in the language is disgraceful, and
they should go away.
By the 4th yar, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as
replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze
fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd
from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of
kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten
styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and
evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.
