   Having chosen English as the preferred language in the EEC, the European
   Parliament has commissioned a feasibility study in ways of improving
   efficiency in communications between Government departments.
  
   European officials have often pointed out that English spelling is
   unnecessarily difficult - for example, cough, plough, rough, through and
   thorough. What is clearly needed is a phased programme of changes to
   iron out these anomalies. The programme would, of course, be
   administered by a committee staff at top level by participating nations.
  
   In the first year, for example, the committee would suggest using 's'
   instead of the soft 'c'. Sertainly, sivil servants in all sities would
   resieve this news with joy. Then the hard 'c' could be replaced by 'k'
   sinse both letters are pronounsed alike. Not only would this klear up
   konfusion in the minds of klerikal workers, but typewriters kould be
   made with one less letter.
  
   There would be growing enthusiasm when in the sekond year, it kould be
   announsed that the troublesome 'ph' would henseforth be written 'f'.
   This would make words like 'fotograf' twenty per sent shorter in print.
  
   In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted
   to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are possible.
   Governments would enkourage the removal of double letters which have
   always been a deterent to akurate speling.
  
   We would al agre that the horible mes of silent 'e's in the languag is
   disgrasful. Therefor we kould drop thes and kontinu to read and writ as
   though nothing had hapend. By this tim it would be four years sins the
   skem began and peopl would be reseptive to steps sutsh as replasing 'th'
   by 'z'. Perhaps zen ze funktion of 'w' kould be taken on by 'v', vitsh
   is, after al, half a 'w'. Shortly after zis, ze unesesary 'o kould be
   dropd from words kontaining 'ou'. Similar arguments vud of kors be aplid
   to ozer kombinations of leters.
  
   Kontinuing zis proses yer after yer, ve vud eventuli hav a reli sensibl
   riten styl. After tventi yers zer vud be no mor trubls, difikultis and
   evrivun vud fin it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drems of the Guvermnt
   vud finali hav kum tru.
