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.

therefore,
Euro English = German

Naww, its not, tis just a joke!

Now that was a funny one.

Of course German is similar to English. English is a Germanic language.

ha ha ha

Okay this is sooo funny. I made those smiley because i read it in a hurry and also cos i wanted to come back to the joke.

It sounds like hausa and Yoruba english. Hahaha.

There is actually a sort of Euro English in existence.

I was once involved in a project for the European Commission DG16 and an Italian sub-contractor told me the following(true story):
- English is the de facto working language in the EU, even though all documents must be translated into the main languages and official documents into all languages (including regional languages, such as Catalan), everybody uses English in meetings, conferences, etc
- All EU public servants are perfectly proficient in English and there is no problem for people from different countries to understand what the others say in English
- The problem arises when UK and/or Irish public servants join the debate. From that moment onward, nobody else can understand what's going on anymore
- The main cause for this phenomenon is that most UK public servants for the EU (and to a lesser degree also the Irish) are usually from an upper-class background and that their usage of the English language is very different from what is commonly spoken in the UK

Conclusion: There is a Euro English, but no Brits in the EU administration speak the language

OMG . . . I can't stop laughing!!! Brilliant Joke!!! LMAOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

:d :d :d

Now this is cool.
