This is for you Mattias.  By the way.  We pretty much feel the same way 
about folks on your side of the pond.  LOL

      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 letters  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.
