The European Commission has reached an agreement!

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 Her Majesty's Government conceded that English
spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5 year phase-in
plan that would be 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
the '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 replased with the 'f'. This will make words like
'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 enkourage the removal of double leters which have always been 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 peopl will be reseptiv to steps such as replasing 'th' with
'z' and 'w' with 'v'.

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary 'o' be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou'
and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to oza kombinations of letas.

After ziz fifz yer ve vil have a rali sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor
trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu anderstand ech oza. Ze
drem of an united urop vil finali kum tru.

I get your joke, but to be honest alot of it doesn't make sense - phonetically alot of the words you have changed don't sound the same. Ie 'ziz' sounds nothing like 'this', if infact that is the word being emulated
