EU Commission adopts English language

Commission adopts English language ​

The European Commission has announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language, rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British government has conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year phased plan for what will be known as Euro-English (Eurolish for short)

In the first year ‘s’ will be used instead of the soft ‘c’. Seratinly, sivil servants will reseive this news with joy. Also the hard ‘c’ will be replased with ‘k’. Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome ‘ph’ will be replaced by ‘f ‘. This will make words like ‘fotograf’ 20% shorter.

In the third year publik akseptance 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 silent ‘e’s in the langaug is disgrasful, and they would go.

By the fourth year peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing ‘th’ by ‘z’and ‘w’ by ‘v’. During ze fifz year, ze unesesary ‘o’ can be droped from vords kontaining ‘ou’ and similar changes vud of kurs be aplid to ozer kominations of leters.

After zis fifz yer, ve vill hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ekh ozer.




ZE DREM VIL FINALI KUM TRU !

 

Brilliant,

 

That reminded me of something Alex

Dr. Strangelove (1964) - Mein Führer I Can Walk!!! - YouTube

 

Zig, that clip reminds me of the national anthem of folks living in Britain during the last Ice Age, " Whalemeat again, don`t know where, don`t know when ".:thumb:

 

More like Eelmeat again, after the ban on Eel fishing:(

 

I don't think I've seen that film. It looks a bit menacing:(

 

You have to watch the serious one first Dave, Failsafe. A gripping terrifying Cold war film.

Dr Strangelove is a pee take of the original.

 

Das es uber gut!! Ya. :D

 

Ya

Habend sie Dachs?

 

You haven't got a Badger?

 

You're right I don't how ever did you know that

 

Dr Strangelove a great film , one of the late Peter Sellers best. I've never seen Failsafe , but there was a TV series of a post nuclear attack on Sheffield - think it was called Threads ( ?) but not to sure. Anyway it was a chilling thought , growing up in the cold war when you lived exactly inbetween two prime soviet target cities, Manchester and Liverpool .

 

If you can get hold of Failsafe, its worth a watch. I remember Threads, chilling.

I grew up close to London,my window faced towards it. Got woken up one night by multiple huge flashes on the horizon. I was out the front door in a blind panic till I realised it was a distant lightning storm.

It did take the edge off of childhood, wondering if you were going to be vaporised with only 3 minutes warning.
