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, the British 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 the 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 leters 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 people 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.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas. If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl

am very upset. My son is such a good little baby, but over the past month he has not been himself lately. The right side of his face is much larger then the left and his eye is so swollen. I have taken him to 4 different doctors and they all said "we thinks" and "maybes" and noone can tell me anything. They all make it seem normal and like im paranoid. Over the past three days hes actually been vommiting ( not spitting up) 5 + times and hes been very fussy,not like him at all. He had another eye doctor appointment today and his eye looked awful. They spent 10 minutes and took three flash photos (all at the childrens hospital) and told me his eye was swollen (duh) and his lip was droopy (duh) and a bunch of other stuff I already knew. I was sitting holding my son when I heard the docs mention his name and saying that they found a little something in the pictures, but they didnt think that it was that big of a deal to do anything with. This has ben going of for weeks. Help. am i crazy

She is 1 1/2 years old and I just think she is too big for it. During the day she will do fine without it, but for naps and bedtime she needs it. Or she thinks she needs it.

You answer in percentage from 0% - 100%, 0 = No chance, 100 = Certainty.
Lets get started... The chance of...
1. HHH squashing more than 10 wrestlers this year? (He's up to 7 so far)
2. Your favourite (WWE) wrestler is a Hall-Of-Famer?
3. Snitsky gets fired by the end of the year? (We havent seen him since the Raw before the Signature Pharmacy thing)
4. We see DX re-united ever again?
5. Edge is back on Raw by next year?

Some of us, like me, need a little help from make-up, designer clothes, acrylic nails and a good hair style. But damn, don't we look hot all the time!
But I mean seriously, don't you think that we look a whole lot better than some of those who just wear baggy clothes and don't ever shave or get a hair cut? Or those ladies who put a veil over their face? What's up with that?

When I was passing in the school hallway today I saw the girl that I love with her hand around the shoulder of an another guy.Then they holded hands together,and she laughed about something.Her girlfriends were around him doing similar things.The funny part is that she knows that I love her and she rejected me before,but now she does this just when I was passing by.They weren't doing anything when I was out of her sight.When I returned in the classroom I was ready to kill somebody,I broke stuff,shouted.(we don't study in the same class).I'm pretty much ready to give up of everything in life cause knowing that she's free kept me going.But do you think she did it on purpose or they're just friends(they study together so that is a possibility)?If you want to save a life from a breakdown please answer!

Why this damned fixation amongst Asian people with having fair skin?
I'm Black .. I'm not trying to lighten my skin to look white or whatever. It's weird this whole fixation and what is even more annoying is the absolute denial that it goes on. A news story was just on BBC News 24 about it. This skin lightening thing is a multi million dollar industry in India and although some Black people do the same thing [no one I know] it is nowhere near as prevalent as in India where kids are taught about the need for light skin from a very early age and are then smothered in skin lightening products.
