(SNES) Urglish

["Les Lytton" <Starman@SAMnet.net>]

Hi Ernie, and all...

There's a lot of sense in your post about all the non-sense of the English
language.  Being we're off topic for a moment, I thought I would share some
important information with everyone concerning language...  the European
Common Language that is under development, in specific:


YRGLISH:
~~~~~~~~

The European Language Commission has just announced an agreement designating
English as the official European-wide language, Rather than German, which was
the other choice.  The commission conceded that English spelling has
considerable room for Improvement, and has proposed a five year phase-in plan
to create what will become known as 'Eur-English.'  This term will eventually
be Shortened to "Yrglish."

In the first year, the letter 'S' will replace the soft 'C'.  This will
sertainly make the sivil servants jump with joy.  The hard 'C' will be dropped
in favor of the 'K'.  This should klear up konsiderable konfusion...  and
keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome 'PH' will be replaced with 'F'.  This will make words like
'fotograf' twenty persent shorter.

In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling changes kan be
ekspekted to allow more komplikated changes.  Governments will enkorage the
removal of double letters, which have always ben a big deterent to akurate
speling.  Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent 'E' is a
disgras, and should disapear to.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing 'TH' with
'Z', and 'W' with 'V'.  During ze fifz year, ze unesesary  'O' kan be droped
from vords kontaining 'OU', and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer
kombinations of leters and uneded vovls.

And last, letrs zat don't ad zounds at al vil b dropd.  Aftr zis fifz yr, v
vil hav a rly sensibl ritn styl.  Zr vil b no mor trubl or difikltis...  al
pepl vil spek Yrglish, and v vil finly b abl to tok klerly viz ech ozr.  Z
drem vil finly b tru...

...and zen v vil tak ovr z vrld!

Happy holidays, everyone!
