got it thru E-mail aint it great. strg-c /strg-v action
I got this from a friend, and I am sending this just for fun of it. Subject: Euro-english New spelling changes announced. The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German,which is the other possibility. As part of the negotiations,Her Majesty'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 "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 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. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Efishenzi vil triumf. Zen ve vil rul ze vorld!!

argh lazy me never replyed, again.Personaly I think the Euro has definitv some good sides. One is the minimum math you have to do when it comes to buying online or in other countrys (dollar 1-1, yen 100-1 most european countrys the same). Another good thing is, that now online stores probably add paying with euros. This way they reach alot country's(new customers) with one currency, which means no exchange taxes from your bank(allready had the luck when I ordered something from japan :cool . I guess travelling across europe is easier too. For being nostalgic, it is just money. It doesnt matter how it looks like(tho the euro doesn't look that bad overall), or what its name is. The only thing important is what I get for what I have . btw. I start to quickly recognize the coins inside my wallet from the color and shape.
