Governor Frankenstien proposes new communication bill
Thanks to labdad for sending me this

The New California Governor has just announced an
agreement whereby English will be the official
language of the state, rather than German which was
the other possibility. As part of the negotiations,
The Terminator's Government conceded that English
spelling had some room for improvement and has
accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become
known as "Austro-English" (or, if nobody will be
offended, "Austrionics").

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 favor of the
"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 the "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 peopl 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 sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor
trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu
understand ech oza.
