zu dem Thema hab ich auch noch einen kleinen Text:

---------------------------------
"The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has
been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European
communications, 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 phased plan known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short). 
In the first year, 's' will be used instead of the soft 'c'.
Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the
hard 'c' will be replaced with 'k'. Not only will this klear up
konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter. 
There will be grown publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome 'ph' will be replaced with '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 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 silent 'e's in the languag is disgrasful, and
they would go. 
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing
'th' by 'z' and 'w' by 'v'. 
During ze fifz year, the unesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords
kontaining 'ou', and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer
kombinations of leters. 
After ze fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no
mor trubls or ifikultis and evrinun vil find it ezi to understan ech
ozer. 
Ze drem vil finali kum tru.''
