European union adopts official language

Question

Read this through. If your not laughing out loud by the end Ill refund your money.

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, 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" w! ill 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". Efter ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl

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. If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.
