European Commission announces "Euro 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 has conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement, and therefore accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that will 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 spelling. 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 will be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z", and "w" with "v". During ze fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikults and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze dream of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze first plas

It's even better to read threads from crying attention seekers who claim they aren't going to post on the forum anymore.

You really don't understand the concept of not making insulting posts, do you?

I didn't mention any names.. He said he likes re reading old jokes, and I merely stated I enjoy reading threads created for the purpose of attention seeking.

You quoted the previous post, so I think it was quite clear who you were referring to.

I think the problem here is that you think that Robbo is an annoying attention seeker. Your post implies that I must be talking about him, and it's impossible I was referring to anyone else.

I'd take offence to that, if I were you, Robbo

Why are you so intent in winding the mods up just so you can get banned?

You already have 3 infractions, how much longer before the 4th and you are banned?

Why not simply log off a while and log back again when you are in a better frame of mind?

If you look at the first two posts, they clearly appreciated the thread. I recently read this joke, thought it was good, and that I'd share it.

Then we see the third post down, someone who claims people don't play fair with him and wonders why..

Just because he has read it, doesn't mean other's haven't. It's simple, don't post sarcastic, unnecessary comments and we won't have a problem. I started this thread with good intentions.
