Van egy sokéves 'angol' szövegem, -a forrását már nem tudom- de 
valahányszor olvasom, könnyesre röhögöm magam. Biztos többen is 
olvastátok, de azért bevágjam? :-))

"   Having chosen English as the preferred language in the EEC (now
     officially the European Union, or EU), the European Parliament has
     commissioned a feasability study in ways of improving efficiency in
     communications between Government departments.

     European officials have often pointed out that English spelling is
     unnecessary difficult; for example: cough, plough, rough, through
     and thorough. What is clearly needed is a phased programme of
     changes to iron out these anomalies. The programme would, of
     course, be administered by a committee staff at top level by
     participating nations.

     In the first year, for example, the committee would suggest using
     's' instead of the soft 'c'. Sertainly, sivil servants in all
     sities would resieve this news with joy. Then the hard 'c' could be
     replaced by 'k' sinse both letters are pronounsed alike. Not only
     would this klear up konfusion in the minds of klerikal workers, but
     typewriters kould be made with one less letter.

     There would be growing enthusiasm when in the sekond year, it was
     anounsed that the troublesome 'ph' would henseforth be written 'f'.
     This would make words like 'fotograf' twenty persent shorter in
     print.

     In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
     expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are
     possible. Governments would enkourage the removal of double letters
     which have always been a deterent to akurate speling.

     We would al agre that the horible mes of silent 'e's in the languag
     is disgrasful. Therefor we kould drop thes and kontinu to read and
     writ as though nothing had hapend. By this tim it would be four
     years sins the skem began and peopl would be reseptive to steps
     sutsh as replasing 'th' by 'z'. Perhaps zen ze funktion of 'w'
     kould be taken on by 'v', vitsh is, after al, half a 'w'. Shortly
     after zis, ze unesesary 'o' kould be dropd from words kontaining
     'ou'. Similar arguments vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations
     of leters.

     Kontinuing zis proses yer after yer, ve vud eventuli hav a reli
     sensibl riten styl. After tventi yers zer vud be no mor trubls,
     difikultis and evrivun vud fin it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze
     drems of the Guvermnt vud finali hav kum tru. "
