Subject: Joke -- Chrysler-Benz Merger (fwd)
Directors at Daimler Benz and Chrysler have announced an agreement to
adopt English as the preferred language for communications, rather
than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the
negotiations, Directors at Chrylser conceded that English spelling had
some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phase in plan.
In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c".
Also, the hard "c" will be replased with "k". Not only will this
klear up konfusion, but komputers kan have one less letter. There
will be growing kompany enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome "ph" will be replased by "f". This will make words like
"fotograf" 20 persent shorter.
In the third year, Daimler-Khrylser akseptanse of the new spelling kan
be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated shanges are
possible. Daimler-Khrysler will enkourage 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 yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be droped from vords
kontaining "ou", and similar shanges vud of kors be aplid to al ozer
kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be
no mor trubls or difikultis and employes vil find it ezi to komunikat
viz ech ozer.
Ov korse al supliers vil be expekted to svitsh to zis for al busines
komunikation vis Daimler-Khrysler.
Ze drem vil finali kum tru.
