Y'all might be speaking Euro soon.
EuroEnglish (The language of the new millenium)
-----------------------------------------------
The European Commissioners have announced that an 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".
Sertainley, 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 and komputers kan have one
less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words
like "fotograf" 20 percent 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 ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that
the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and
they would go. By the fourth year, peopl wil be replasing "th"
by "z" and "w" by "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 trubls or difikultis
and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.
Governments understand ech ozer? If only. _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.
