    The European Commission has agreed to adopt English as the official language of the EU. As part of this agreement, they accepted a five-year plan called "EuroEnglish" to improve the spelling of English. The plan proposed simplifying English spelling by removing letters like "c" and "ph" in the first two years, and by removing double letters and silent letters in the third year. It further suggested replacing letters like "th" with "z" and "w" with "v" in the fourth year. By the end of the fifth year, the plan aimed to create a simplified written English with easier spelling and no more trouble or difficulties between speakers.

    The 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 accepted a five year phase-in plan that would be
    known as 'EuroEnglish.'

    In the first year, 's' will replace 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 keyboards kan have one less letter.

    There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
    troublesome 'ph' will be replased with the '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
    horible mes of the silent letters in the language is disgrasful, and they
    should go away.

    By the 4th yer, pepl 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 kontaning 'ou,' and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer
    kombinations of leters.

    After zis fifz year, ve vil hav a rele sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls
    or difikultis and evrivun vil find tu undrstand ech ozer.
