Messaggio:

The European Commission have just announced an agreement whereby
English will be the official language of the EU, 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 five year phase in plan that would be known as "EuroEnglish".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will
make the sivil servants jump for joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour
of the "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less
letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced with the "f". This will make words like
"fotograf" 20% 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 enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always
ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of
the silent "e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away.

By the 4th year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th"
with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords
kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer
kombinations of leters. After zis fifz year, ve vil hav a realy sensibl
riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it
ezi to understand each ozer

ZE DREAM VIL FINALI KUM TRU!

Mi hai fatto piangere e ridere contemporaneamente!
Spero che sia tutto uno scherzo. Se ci vuole una sola lingua universale, forse l'inglese si è meitato questo onore. ma che sia l'inglese vero, non quello imbastardito che ci hai presentato con humour.
Your sincerely, Falug

Well who know, who knows..everything is possible nowadays. Of course this is a grotesque
but beleive me if you visit some regions in USA you will find that they convert English beyond recognition.
You can call it a dialect but still...
Anyway I gave you a chance to smile or even to laugh which is not bad, isn't?;-) :-) :-D
P/S/ I have read another story recently about an italian who visited London, which made me cry for laughing but I can't post it in concerto to avoid misunderstandings and offences.

ti saluto,
Margo

Of course, everything is possible....perhaps it's also possible that you send me the story about that italian in London, isn't'?

Yes but please remember that in Concertodisogni normally people don't start "single discussion" but create something usefull for everybody. The latest question of Falug is the perfect example of a private mail message.
We don't want to spend our time following people that like to make always mistake and error.. Also our time is precious please consider.
Thank you.
