Liewe mense,
Ek het die volgende op 'n poslys raakgeloop. Dit lyk asof ons 'n Nuwe
spelling te wagte kan wees, net reg om ingevoer te kan word vir die
Nuwe Suid Afrika
WITH all the talk about a single European currency, some people
are talking about a common European Ianguage, with English
being touted as the preferred language for communications,
ahead of German. But the British will be asked to concede
a simplified spelling to be phased in over a five-year period.
In the first year, 's' would be used instead of the soft 'c'.
Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy.
Also, the hard 'c' will be replaced with 'k'. Not only will
this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less
letter on the keyboard.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year,
when the troublesome 'ph' will be replaced by f. This will
make words like 'fotograf' 20 per sent shorter.
In the third 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 horible mes of silent 'e's in the
languag is disgrasful, so they would hav to go.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as
replasing 'th' by 'z' and 'w' by 'v'.
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords
kontaining 'ou', and similar changes vud of kors be aplyd to
ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz year, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer
vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi
tu understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru.
Alles van die beste
