ENGLISH

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 replased with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.



In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are possible.


Governments wil enkourage the removal of double let

Eg Rome is actually Roma
Milan = Milano
Florence = Firenze

etc..

Why didn't they stay the same? It's not as if they are hard to pronounce or spell?

I'm so! enjoying my re-read of Sherlock Holmes' adventures & I've come across a couple words/phrases I'm not sure of. He refers to reading the agony collumn of the Times, is that like the obits? and also he ordered fresh rashers & eggs--rasher?
Are these terms still used or are they a throw back to the era in which Mr. Holmes resides?

If they choose to come to America, they should speak English, just like people that go to other countries are expected to speak the local language there.

Now that the Pentagon has officially gone on record stating categorically that Saddam had nothing to do with Al Queda and that Bush and his cronies definetly lied so as to wage war for their personal gain on a nation innocent of any involvement in the September 11th slaughter. Would you agree that the United Nations should brand and prosecute George Bush as a murderous war criminal. Would you also agree that Tony Blair's Playschool Mistress should sent him to the bold corner for being thick enough to play follow the leader with such a bad influence. Would you also agree that Rice is peculiar looking.
