Day of Languages |

The European Union commissioners have announced that 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 negotiations, her Majesty 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". Sertainly, sivil
servants will reseive this news with joy.
Also, the hard "c" will be replased with "k".
Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan
have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm
in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will
be replased by "f". This will make words like "fotograf"
20 per sent 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 enkourage
the removal of double letters, which have always been a deterent
to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s
in the languag is disgraful, and they would go. By the forth
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. After zis fifz
year, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no
mor trobls or difikultis and evrivum vil find it ezi tu understand
ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru.
