This is very clever but you must read all of it.
The European Union Commissioners have announced that agreement has been
reached to adopt English as the common language for all future European
communications rather than German which was the other possibility. As part
of the negotiations, H M Government conceded that English spelling had some
room for improvement and has accepted a five year phased plan for what will
be known as Euro-English (Eurospeak for short).
In the first year, 's' will be used instead of the soft 'c'. Sertainly,
sivil servants will reseive this news with joy. Also the hard 'c' will be
replaced by 'k'. Not only will this klear up konfusion, but keyboards kan
have one less letter.
There will be growing public enthusiasm in the second year, when the
troublesome 'ph' will be replaced by 'f'. This will make words like
'fotograf' some 20% shorter.
In the third year, public akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expected to
reakh the stage where more komplikated khanges are possible. Governments
will enkorage the removal of double letters which have always been a
deterrent to akurate speling. Also, nearly al wil agre that the horible mes
of silent 'e's in the languag is disgrakeful and would go as wel.
By the fourth year. People wil be reseptiv to steps such as replacing 'th'
by 'z' and 'w' by 'v'.
During ze fifz year, ze unnesesary 'o' kan be droped from vords containing
'ou' and similar khanges vud of kors be applied to ozer kombinations of
letters. After ziz fiftz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer wil
be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech
ozer.
Ze drem vil finali kum tru.
