EuroEnglish - Jeremy Clarkson

A five year plan has been drawn up to develop EuroEnglish. In the first year, 's' will be used instead of the soft 'c' and 'k' will replace the hard 'c'.
Not only will this klear up konfusion and make the life of sivil servants easier, but also komputer keyboards will need one less key.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome 'ph' will be replased the 'f'. This will make words like 'fotograf' 20 per sent shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to get to a stage where more komplikated alterations are possible. So double letters will be removed to inkrease the likelihod or akurate speling. And the horrible mess of the silent 'e' wil be banished.
By the forth yar, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps lik replasing 'th' by 'z' and 'w' by 'v'.
During ze fifz yar, ze necesari 'o' kan be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou', and similar modifikations vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yar, we wil hav a sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun wil find it ezi to understand ech ozer.
Ze drem vil finali kum tru....
