Eurenglish
Important message from European headquarters
Spelling
Mark Twain: I don't see any use in having to spell a uniform and arbitrary way of spelling words. We might as well make all the clothing alike and cook all dishes alike
Bad spellers of the world: UNTIE!
The European Union Commission have announced an agreement whereby English will
be the official language of the EU, rather than German, which was the other
possibility. As part of the negotiations, however, 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 Eurenglish. In the first year,
's' will be used instead of the soft 'c'. Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve
this news with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the 'k'. Not only
will this klear up konfusion but keyboards kan have one letter less. 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 per sent 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 letters, which have always ben a deterent to
akurate speling. Also, al wil agree that the horible mes of silent 'e's in the
languag is disgrasful, and they should go. By the fourth yer, peopl wil be
reseptiv to steps such as replasing ‘th' by ‘z' and ‘w' by 'v'. During ze fifz
yer, 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 trubl or diffikultis and
evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru.

Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours?
