The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will
be the official language of the EU rather than German.
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 "EuroEnglish".
In the 1-st year, "s" will replace the soft "c".
Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favor 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 3-rd 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 horible mes of
the silent "e" in the language is disgraseful and they should go away.
By the 4-th year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with
"z" and "w" with "v".
