    Default Euro English (for spellcheckers)

    5 year phase in of Euro English
    In year 1, the soft "c" would be replaced by "s".
    Sertainly,this will make sivil servants jump with joy.
    The hard "c" will be replaced by "k".
    This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan now have one less letter.
    In the sekond year'the troublesome "ph" is replaced with "f".
    This will reduse fotograph by 20 %
    In the 3rd year,public akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to be at a 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 horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language is digrasful and they should eliminat them.
    By year 4,peopl wil be reseptiv to lingwistik korektions such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v" saving mor keyboard spas
    During zis 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 reli sensibil riten styl.
    Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evriun vil find it ezi to understand ech other
    ze drem vil finali kum tru

    The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

    I think the "th" should have been replaced by a 'c' instead of the 'z'. Either that or everyone will have to start speaking with a lisp (ethi).
