Possible effect of Brexit
Possible effect of Brexit though on a lighter note :
The European Commission is pondering an agreement whereby English language will be replaced by German as the official language of the European Union following the Successful vote of the British people to leave EU
Plans are afoot to phase the learning of German language and replace English. Phasing shall be done in 5 years.
Below is the plan :
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 publik 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.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.
And Congratulations you have learnt German within minutes...
Speaking about Egyptians, how do you think slow learners like myself can decide which of the following letters is to be used to spell sound K in a word that is new to me: C, CH, CK or K?
English is popular because the English speakers are prevailing; not becaus it makes sense
It could take them monthses
By the way, Egyptians will have very few problems to adapt.
Don't wory, just a new chip under ze fur.
