From my Father in law - who is married to a German!

 

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, 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 one less letter.

 

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome 'ph' will be replased with the 'f'. This will

make words like 'fotograf' 20% shorter!

 

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expected to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double leters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent 'e' in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

 

By the 4th year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing 'th' with 'z' and 'w' wiz 'v'.

 

During ze fifz year ze unesesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou' and similar changes vud of kurs be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

 

After ze fifz yer ve vil hav a rali sensibl ritn styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evriun vil find it ezi tu undrstand ech ozer. Zen Z Drem Vil Finali Kum Tru!!

I never understood before now how the german pronunciation of english was so easily basic :o

 

Yes, I think I've seen this or something similar before. xD

 

How wonderful the English language is, or should I say German language, or actually I think I'll say any language.

 

Bring back Esperanto is what I say. :(
