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, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become 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 "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 replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated khanges 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 horibl mes of the silent "e" in the
languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords
kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu
understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl

Tuohan alkaa muistuttamaan hollantia tai myös hiukkasen minulle tutumpaa saksaa.

Tuosta tulikin mieleeni Bill Brysonin mielenkiintoinen, joskaan ei välttämättä kaikilta faktoiltaan totuudenmukainen kirja "The Mother Tongue". Suosittelen.

kyllä sai taas hymyn päälle näin raskaan arjen keskellä, kiitokset siitä:peukkuy

sopisivat suomalaisen suuhun erittäin hyvin
