Three years old jokes should be dropped from the discussion (and any other)
list of the EMC-PSTC.

Subject: Euro English
The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has
been
reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European
communications, 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 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 replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but
typewriters kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik emthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced 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 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
would
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 dreem vil finali kum tru.
