Hey Cho! Whatever you were smoking when you wrote this one, pass it!I’m a little slow. I knew right away it wasn’t French, but German. However, it took me a bit longer to catch up to the fact that the translation isn’t even close to the little German I can understand. I’m not sure what it all means, and I don’t just mean the German language.
Now my German is pretty rusty, but what I do understand is:Luke, I am your fatherBeer before liquor never sicker.Garlic makes my feet stink.The Germans love David Hasselhoff.
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as ‘Euro-English’..In the first year, ‘s’ will replace the soft ‘c’. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard ‘c’ will be dropped in favour of ‘k’. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.There will be growing public enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome ‘ph’ will be replaced with ‘f’. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
