The European Union's head commissioners announced today that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language standard for European communications -- rather than German, which was the other option. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's 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 resieve 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 persent 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 enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they should go.

By the fourth 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 yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.

Ze drem vil finali kum tru!

UK did one of those! It was called 'The Initial Teaching Alphabet' and was introduced to infant schools to help kids read faster..... only trouble was they then had to learn to read all over again when they got to junior school, and had regular reading books. And none of 'em could spell for toffee. My eldest was taught it and it took her YEARS to learn to spell properly.

And if we replace 'd' with 't', 'g' with 'k' and 'b' with 'p', no one will be able to understand anyone! This will be fun! Very fun! And what about 'm' with 'n'? Why not?

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

Well, we're down to three vowels ("e", "i" and "o") and eight consonants ("r", "t", "p", "s", "f", "k", "l" and "n"). Or have I missed one?
Translated into EuroEnglish:
Fel, fer tofn to sre fofels ("e", "i" ent "o") ent eikt konsonents ("r", "t", "p", "s", "f", "k", "l" ent "n"). Or hef I nist on?
