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 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 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.

You're kidding!

I do not know the real possibility of these statements, I have just found the text. Maybe, it is just a joke...

It is a joke indeed, and rather aged one - I saw it for the first time about 3 years ago...

About excluding the letter "c" is a REAL information.

i made a joke on some of my english speaking friends: in what language is this sentense... then i send this article...

I hope we should pray that it IS really a joke. If not..well, I can not preview what will be further.
Is this a real new fixed idea to simplify the spelling - remember the same stiuation (around it) in Russian. And there are some chenges in German that made the language situation much more complicated then earlier.....

:D
I Didn't laugh so much for a long time already. It's time to open the item with american humor. I have had a lot of jokes...

:D

hehe
Nice to hear they are about to change c. Well, must to say it is pretty uncommon for old europe.
Have you already heard of some real changes?

Hello,

Yeah guys, lets talk about american humor, though it might not be as entertaining as you expect - who can laugh at public farting ? Not me for sure. Anecdotes constantly involve politics - Bush did that, Bush said this : hih-hih-hah-hah. Not funny!
