Europe has standardized their currency by
creating the "Euro" in eleven Countries, here is their plan to
standardize the language also:
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 Euro English (Euro for short).
In the fust year, "s" will be used instead of
the soft "c". Sertainly, siviI 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 wiI be reseptiv to
steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by " v". During ze
fifz year, ze unesesary "0" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou",
and similar changes vud ofkors be aplid to ozer
kombinations of leters.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vii al be speking
German like zey vunted in ze forst place.
