...whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German,.
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 letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

English, unlike most other languages, is a free and democratic language which belongs to the people who speak it. Americans use English in quite a different way to us Brits in UK. Likewise, so do Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders and a vast army of English speakers in India [Injah]. Having new or different spellings is no big deal. The Americans, soon after the revolution, set about the business of changing spellings - a certain Mr Webster [Webster's Dictionary] was given the task. He came up with such as : -
color = colour
theater = theatre
center = centre
...and many more besides.
English spellings came about because the English themselves could not positively agree on how words were spelt, or should be spelt. I saw one ancient document in a town in Devon, where a local magistrate had spelt the word 'four' as 'fower' because that's exactly the way he would have pronounced it.
The lucky Welsh have a phonetic language, so that how you see it written [spelt] is exactly how you pronounce it. Okay, so it's still difficult right!!
Perhaps if English were to become a phonetic language it would suit not only Europeans but also us Brits too.

The German government tried to bring in a New SPELLING order
New dictionaries where printed by the millions ,school books where changed ,newspapers where giving examples of the ridiculousness of the exercise !
Nobody played the game and the venture was reversed !
Lets just all carry on as usual and all the other Europeans will have to follow ! Nobody can MAKE ME spell in a stupid way !

The Questioner should be made an EU Commissioner and represent the United Kingdom because it is apparent he does understand his question and must therefore be able to understand all the other problems within the community of Europe.
At least then we will all be able to sleep safely in our communal shelters.

This is very funny, thanks for sharing it.
As a point of interest, French is actually the official language. All EU documents are written in French, this was because the UK were not one of the founder members of the EU.

Is this true, what is your source. Im sick of the EU telling everyone what to do, we should vote out the EU government. oh yea, we cant! A government who control all of europe and you cant vote out, sounds like that geezer from 60 years ago, you know the one? the painter with the tash who decided to start killing everyone.
