(read to the end before you comment something political)

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 troublesome "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 peopl 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.

I hope you guys enjoyed this preview! I intend to keep releasing pictures and videos as things go for those who do not have the pack yet so they can see what they would get if they become a patron! I of course suggest you become a patron and try things out!

If you have any comments or suggestions feel free to speak your mind! The one cool with with having a free patron/follower set up is even if you can't become a paid patron for the packs now, you can still see what's being added and changed so you can whenever you're ready!

There’s an eclipse for all you Americans today, so here are some eclipse safety tips:

• do not look directly at it, make sure you have sunglasses on
• do not take pictures directly at it, it can damage cameras
• if it’s cold, make sure you have warm clothes on if you’re gonna be outside for a while
• enjoy it!! it’s a rare occasion

fun fact: you can view the shadow on a live sat map or view the live NASA stream if you aren’t in the USA but still wanna see it.

i actually have not banned someone in such a long time, guys can someone break the rules for me

FOR LEGAL REASONS THAT WAS A JOKE PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO ME

book review time

I’m reading a really good fantasy book trilogy at the moment, called The Good Hawk (the trilogy is called Shadow Skye). I don’t usually post stuff like this, but it’s a really good YA book.

Not only is it really fun and engaging, it includes important topics such as:

• LGBTQ+ relationships,
• neurodiversity (one of the main characters has Down’s syndrome),
• the dangers of religion,
• dangers of colonisation and empire,
• and much more.
