Were you aware 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, Her Majesty's Government conceded that the 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 more sivilised) -- and 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 percent shorter) -- In the third 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 fourth yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z", as wel as the "w" being replased by "v" -- After zis fifz yer, ve vill 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 -- If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl -- zen ve vil rul ze vorld !

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
