New "Euroenglish" Standard

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU 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 five year phase-in plan that would be known as "EuroEnglish":

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 the 'k'. This should klear up konfusion and 'ch' kan be replaced by ‘c’.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome 'ph' will be replased by the 'f. This will make words like 'fotograf 20% shorter.

In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reac the stage when more komplikated canges are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, whic have always ben a dcterent to akurate speling.
