new EU english

[FBG]

The European Commission has 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 "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 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 f". This will make words like
 "fotograf" 20% shorter.

 In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be ekspekted
 to reach the stage where more complikated changes are possible.
 Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have
 always been a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the
 horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they
 should go away.

 By the fourth year, 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 trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech
 ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru! And zen ve vil tak over ze world!
