Quote:
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 only 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 phased plan what will be known as Euro English (Euro for short).
In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants wil reseive these news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one letter less.
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 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.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double leters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e" in the languag is disgraseful, 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 "i" kan be dropd from vords containing "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of letters.
After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or fifikultis and evivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.
Ze drem vil finali kum tru!
after al zat and you forgot to omit ze dubl leter in ze word "letters."

Sweet Jesus ...
I have never imagined ... All these years of learning English, and for what? All efforts in vain, all struggles futile! This Euro English is HELL !! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!
Say, maybe we should send it to that "What level of Hell are you sent to" thread. I'm sure it would qualify for at least level 9

european languages are difficult? who said that?
english is a european language, and Mark Twain's playful parody demonstrates how close to german it is in many respects. you want a complicated language, try hopi or navajo.

German isn't logical. Just think of those bl00dy casus (or what it's called in english..).
Compared to english, german is supposed to be easier to learn, because it has simple rules, and few words that don't follow them, english on the other hand....it has advanced rules, and more words that don't "follow" them.
But, because english is so widespread and affects most of the world, english seems and feels easier to speak and learn.
