English to be only Official EU Language? 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 possibilty. 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 knopwn 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 confusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing public enthusiasm in the second year when the troublesome ph will be replaced with f. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the third year, public akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expected to reach the stage where more komplicated changes are possible. Governments will encourage 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 language is digrasful 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 fitz yer, ze unesesary o kan be dropd from vords containing 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. NB: If zis mad you smil pleas pas on to oza pepl. |

In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism , it's your Count that votes. |
