    The 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, Her Majesty's 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 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 peopl 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. If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl. Zen ve vil rul ze world!!!

    :D

    polish of course. It should be official EU language.
    For example:
    W Strzebrzeszynie chrzaszcz brzmi w trzcinie - even for polish people it is hard to say :)

    Funny thing is thats how the Scottish talk after a few drinks........

    Seriously though, English is now the 4th most popular language and they believe that it won't be long before the Muslim languages (Hebrew?) are spoken by more people than English.


    Personnally I reckon we'll all be talking Chinese, afterall once they figure out Democracy and Capitolism over there they'll own the world.

    :D

    Fuck you once more, Airfax!!!! :)

    Dutch is verrrrry different from German. To get a good feeling for what Dutch sounds like, try to imagine the sound made by an angry Arab crawling out of your ass.

    dont worry mal
    an old issue of English Today was dedicated to China - English there has been made compulsory in the schools, besides private english language courses/schools are sprouting with the rates of champignons after rain.

    even China didnt have the determination to resist the western-culture invasion :(

    hm.. at least we will be able to communicate... and I bet they will not start using english words instead of their own like Germans or Swedes do
    there are other, more serious issues of western-culture invasion


    @ spuint -- cc, it is always delightful to have conversation with Pole.. both of us having a lot of fun even if we are talking about weather ;)

    well, the different authors (some chinese some brittish) in that magazine speak of "the craze for english" in China.

    There was another peculiar article - "The impact of English in Greece". I am feeling a bit better now when i know the otherwise ferocious greeks are surrendering their culture even more than us.
