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 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 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.
