Something cute sent to me by a Mercedez Dealer:
     Merging Preference    ------------------
     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 Chrysler    conceeded that English spelling has some room for improvements    and has accepted a 5 year phase in plan. In the first year, "S" will    be used instead of the soft "C". also the hard"C" will be replaced    with "K". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but komputers kan    have one less letter. There will be a growing kompany enthusiasm    in the sekond year when the troublesome "PH" will be replaced    by "F". This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter. In the    third year, Daimler-Khrysler will enkourage the removal of    double letters, which have always been a determent to akkurate    spelling. Also, all will agree that the horrible mess of silent "e's"    in the language is disgraseful, and they would go. By the fourth    year, people will be reseptive to steps such a replasing "TH" with    "Z" and "W" by "V". During ze fifz year, ze unesessary "o" kan be    dropped from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vuld of    kors be applied to all ozer kombinations of letters. After zis fiftz    year, ve vill hav a really sensible vriten style. Zere vill be no    more trubls or diffikultis and employee's vill find it easy to    komunikat viz each ozer. Ov kourse all suppliers vill be expekted    to svitsh to zis for all business kommunikation via    Daimler-Khrysler.    ZE DREAM VILL FINALLY KOME TRUE.  |
