Here is a sampling of what you can expect
Euroenglish
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 typewriters kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm 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 drem vil finali kum tru.
Maybe This will change your mind
What if _____ made toasters?
If IBM made a toaster, it would be big and blue and they would make
just one toaster to which people would submit bread for overnight
toasting. IBM would project an eventual worldwide market of, oh,
maybe five or six of these big blue toasters.
If MICROSOFT made toasters, you would have to buy a toaster every
time you bought a loaf of bread. The new TOASTER '95 would be
overpriced, would take up 95% of your kitchen space, would secretly
interrogate your other appliances to find out who made them and if
you are the rightful owner, and would then falsely claim to be the
very first toaster that lets you control the darkness of your toast.
Everyone would hate MICROSOFT toasters, but would buy them anyway
because most of the good bread will work only with their TOASTER '95.
Additionally, once you have a TOASTER '95, it's nearly impossible to
get rid of it.
If RADIO SHACK made toasters, their sales associates would try to
sell you the entire store-full, but would be able to tell you nothing
about any of them . . . and would get angry if you asked. You could
also buy the toaster in individually plastic bagged pieces for
assembly yourself . . . but you would have to go to at least six
stores for all of the essential pieces.
If POPULAR SCIENCE made toasters, they would be highlighted as a
continuing feature article for several months running and be so
complicated and impractical that only the author would ever think
about making one. The Government would be petitioned to create
an Incentive Toasting scheme . .
