    I don't of-ten say such harsh things!

    In the words of a well known elder, will anyone "Second my emotion?"
    Now I am going to run Spell Check to make sure I spelt everything right.

    I have seen these signs in bar type establishments, that read "chips .50 cents (they had a cent symbol but I can't do it on my keyboard) I told them I wanted two bags of chips and I gave them a penny. I could not get across to this one bar maid the difference between their sign and the proper designation which is "chips $.50."

    (Make sure to read this outload, you can do it!!!)

    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 English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would be 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 favor of the '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 replased with the 'f'. This will make words like 'fotograf' 20% shorter!

    In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
    expected to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

    Governments will enkorage the removal of double leters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent 'e' in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

    By the 4th year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing
    'th' with 'z' and 'w' wiz 'v'.

    During ze fifz year ze unesesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords
    kontaining 'ou' and similar changes vud of kurs be aplid to ozer
    kombinations of leters.

    After ze fifz yer ve vil hav a rali sensibl ritn styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evriun vil find it ezi tu undrstand ech ozer.

    Zen Z Drem Vil Finali Kum Tru!!

    As you can see I am based in the UK and have to make a decision at time s on whether to spell UK style or USA style. Many words are different For example.

    baptism/baptizm
    Judaeo/Judeo
    realise/realize
    organise/organize
    colour/color

    There are many others so, if you think I can't spell - you are right but some of my 'mistakes' are quaint English ways. I have noticed that the USA way of spelling is becoming more the norm now. The New English Bible printed by the English Oxford/Cambridge in 1970 uses USA speling as it more universally accepted. Could this be the end of the Empire?
