The European Commission has just announced that 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 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.

I think you're overgeneralizing. I live in South Texas. Many people here know both English an Spanish. Why is it so important for an American to learn French, a language they will most likely never use? I took two years of French in high school, by the way, and really enjoyed it. You have relatives in Europe; most Americans don't. They can learn a language, but if they don't get to speak it with others, it will be lost. That has been my experience with speaking French. Je ne souviens pas beaucoup de francais. Dommage! Besides that, it's an individual decision on whether one wants to spend the time, effort, and money to learn another language. Some jobs require it, like yours, while it wouldn't make any difference in mine. I work solely in English. Most Americans' parents didn't speak a language other than English at home. That's why they don't speak anything other than English. _________ William, I know what you're talking about, but this being a globalized economy now, people learn English because it is pretty much required if they want to work in the business sector internationally. That's why these non-English speakers learn it at school, because if they want to compete, they have to know English, and their school systems recognize this. Having said that, we already know English. So, any language we learn is solely for cultural or pleasurable reasons. We are already at an advantage to have it as our first language. The U.S. has the largest market-base in the world. These other countries have learned to survive, they must learn English and teach their children English. My mother is Hispanic, and I do know a little Spanish. But like the interpreter said, unless you're immersed in a language, it's difficult to be fluent in it. Best Regards!

This is a terrible idea and will never ever work.
If this is true (and i hope it isn't) then it just proves how STUPID these people really are.
