3. Speak German (JAMES PHELPS)
Quit some time ago there was a joke posted about changing vowels and
sounds in the English language to correct things, by the end it was German
can anyone show me the joke again?
Jim
Yes, my sister sent it to me. I will dig it out for you.
Ready for new English?
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, the British 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 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 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 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 people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing th
with z and w with v.
During ze fifz yer, ze 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.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze
forst plas.
If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.
