 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 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
 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 replaced with the "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 spelling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes
 of the silent "e" in the language is disgrasful and it should go away.

 By the 4th yer, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with
 "z" and "w" with "v", During ze fifz yer, se unesesary "o" kan be dropd
 from
 vords kontaining "ou" and after 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.
