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 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 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 replaced with the "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 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 horibl mes of
the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away. By
the 4th yer peopl 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
containing "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl
riten styl.
