The European Union 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, the British government conceded that
English spelling had some room for improvement and have accepted a
five-year phased plan for what will be known as Euro English (Euro for
short).

In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly,
sivil servants will reseive this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will
be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but
typewriters kan have one less letter.

There will be growing public enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome "ph" will be replased by "f". This will make words such as
fotograf" 20% 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 language is disgrasful, and they would
go.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as 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.

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

Auf wiedersehen
