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, the British 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 typerwriters kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replace by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 persent shorter. In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Govemments 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 snsibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru.

Sven: ROFLAMO !!! I took Esperanto in preference to French and German when I was 14....oh my.....that took me back and makes as much sense now as it did then...*g* Glad you all enjoyed, it still makes me laugh but heck, we have to be one of the most friendliest nations yet the most complicated to talk to - by far...well, in writing that is..*g* HUGS [This message has been edited by RainbowGirl (edited 10-23-2000).] |

This is absolutely hysterical... Perhaps we should actually begin with German and adapt it accordingly...  |

No Philp...(oooops.can't remember if it's one i or one l..*g*...LOL)...I had help, namely the author...seriously, it's one of those things I read long ago and now use as an ice breaker on training sessions...many times I'm asked how does one write a manual for software so ...I give them this and ask them to correct the errors....ROFL HUSG ps: You should see what I got back...*g*...and thinking on that subject...a few years ago a female frind of mine, high powered, career orientated lady was conducting a seminar. As always she arrived early to ensure everything was to her liking, this was in Tokyo and the clients were all Japenese men....Exactly on schedule she stood up, bowed her head in honour of their customs and started to talk...they however had different ideas and continued to talk amongst themesleves so she sat down and went through her papers...some 15 minutes later after 5 minutes of total silence, one of the gentlemen asked her if she was ready to start...you know that weird silence? Well she let it stay that way and looked at each of them in turn, full eye contact with each...then finally, she stood up and said soemthing like - Gentlemen, my time is valuable and I presume you came here to learn something, if you feel that you now know everything, please leave quietly and I will start the seminar...thank you. She was 18....wow! But, not one single man left...as she told me, you have to control a situation or let *it* control you....something that stayed with me and I believe pays off...specially when training *men*...ooops...*g* [This message has been edited by RainbowGirl (edited 10-24-2000).] |
