This is probably known:-
Euro
-----
The European Commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to
adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, 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 five-year phased
plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).
In the first year, ‘s’ will be used instead of the soft ‘c’.
Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard ‘c
’ will be replaced with ‘k’. Not only will this klear up konfusion, but
typewriters kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome ‘ph’ will be repalced by ‘f’. This will make words like
‘fotograf’ 20 per sent shorter. In the third 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
been a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes
of silent ‘e’s in the languag is disgrasful, and would go. Bt the fourth
year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing ‘th’ by ‘z’ and ‘w’
by ‘v’. During ze fifz year, ze unesesary ‘o’ kan be droped 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. Ze drem vil finali kum tru !
