The announcement came from the English Language Central Commission (ELCC). Here is a quote from the press release:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>After carefully considering and debating the matter for over two years, the ELCC came to the conclusion that the letter \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Z&#8221; should be removed from the English alphabet. The main objective of this change is to simplify the phonetic aspect of the language, and to unify the American and British spellings.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What will happen to the words that have the letter \u00e2\u20ac\u0153z&#8221; in them? It depends on the word. According to the ELCC, words that started with a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153z&#8221; will now start with an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153x&#8221;. Examples include:<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 zero becomes xero<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 zoo becomes xoo<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 zone becomes xone<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 zodiac becomes xodiac<\/p>\n<p>Words that featured a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153z&#8221; with the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153s&#8221; sound, on the other hand, will now be officially written with the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153s&#8221; (i.e., unifying the American and British spelling). Examples include:<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 visualize becomes visualise<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 analyze becomes analyse<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 materialize becomes materialise<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about this change? Will it really simplify the English language, or will it make things more confusing?<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/letter-z-removal-hoax.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/letter-z-removal-hoax.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outline Message claims that the &#8220;English Language Central Commission (ELCC)&#8221; has decided to remove the letter &#8220;Z&#8221; from the English Alphabet from June 1st. \u00a0 Brief Analysis The message began as an April Fool&#8217;s joke that has escaped its original context.
