Breaking News From Brussels.....

The European Commission have just announced an agreement whereby
English will be the official language of the E.U. 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 five-year phase-in plan that
would be known as "EuroEnglish".

In the first year, 'S' will replace the 'soft C' . . . . Sertainly, this will
make sivil servants jump for joy. The 'hard C' will be dropped in favour of
the 'K'. This should klear up any konfusion and keyboards kan have one less
letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesom 'PH' will be replased with the 'F'. This will make words like
fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik adseptanse of the new spelling can be expekted to
reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will
enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always been a deterant to
akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the "silent E's'
in the language is disgraseful and they should go away.

During ze fifz year, ze unesesary 'O' kan be droped from words kontaining
'OU' and similar changes wud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz year, we wil have a realy sensibl riten styl. Zer wil be no
mor trubls or difikultis and evriwon wil find it ezi tu understand.
