Spelling reform

[Old Koreelah]

An oldie but pure gold:

 

 

The European Commission has finally decided on English

 

as its official language, rather that German.

 

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 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 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 sensi bl 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.
