Euro-English!

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British 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".

How other's handle justice
May not be up to me
But when I react to other's
I must show integrity......Branon

To change another's view
But nothing speaks more powerfully
Than what Christ did in you......Sper
