Euro-English by the European Commission

This is either a descendant, or not, of a story first published in Astounding Science Fiction (now Analog) in 1946 by "Dalton Edwards" entitled "Meihem in Ce Klasrum."

In 1946, for example, we would urge the elimination of the soft "c", for which we would substitute "s". Sertainly, such an improvement would be selebrated in all sivic-minded sircles as being suffisiently worth the trouble, and students in all sities in the land would be reseptive toward any change eliminating the nesessity of learning the differense between the two letters.

In 1947, sinse only the hard "c" would be left, it would possible to susbstitute "k" for it, both letters being pronounsed identikally. Imagine how greatly only two years of this prosess would klarify the konfusion in the minds of students. Already we would have eliminated an entire letter from the alphabet. Typewriters and linotypes kould all be built with one less letter and all the manpower and materials previously devoted to making "c's" kould be turned toward raising the national standard of living.

A good chuckle. The transition was like that proverbial bath that slowly but progressively gets warmer and you don't notice till you're cooked --except they messed up at the end "ZE DREM VIL FINALI COM TRU!" should be "ZE DREM VIL FINALI KOM TRU!"

That said, reminds me of the spelling of foreign words in Malaysia or Indonesia [1]. Phonetic using Latin script.
