About the Portuguese language agreement. If it was English…

Stolen from here but word is Mark Twain wrote it ;)

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”.
In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of “k”. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troub lesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd 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 horibl mes of the silent “e” in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”. During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining “ou”
and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

All this because Portugal is about to sign an agreement that will change our spelling completely and we will all spell like the Brazilians rather than like the Portuguese! This is ridiculous!

Há gente…

Things that surprise me (2)

This is not a thing that surprised me when I first arrived. It’s something that has been surprising me to date: Super-bugs in Hospitals.

It surprises me that a developed country as England has infections in their hospitals that kill patient who went there for something completely different. It surprises me that this happens in a country where they are paranoid about health and safety and fill hundreds of forms and take ridiculous precautions and then have these problems in hospitals when this could be avoided with simple things like washing hands and good cleaning and disinfecting! How can this happen?

Well one of the things that may induce this is some hospitals having carpets on the floor. A hospital with carpeted floor? Where is this heard of?

How can such a developed country have such mortality in their hospital because of diseases patients caught in the hospital?

I wrote in previous posts that I didn’t know which one was worst: the NHS or the Servico Nacional de Saude. I think I prefer the Portuguese…

As vezes pergunto-me…

Even though I’m still on a no writing mood, I think I should post something about Russ’s Birthday. It was Saturday and we went to see his family. It was his Dad’s Birthday as well so it was a joined celebration. Let’s say that I’ll have to go to the gym for a month to get rid of everything I ate this weekend… But all for a good cause! (^) (G)

Just as important was Vanda’s birthday on the 8th. I was sad I couldn’t join the celebrations but at least we spoke on the phone for a bit which was excellent!

Happy birthday to all of you!!!

And I don’t care what people say about Scorpios, I love them! (k)

Dasse!!
