The Office of British Spelling

The Office of British Spelling
(A government office. A bureaucrat, sitting at a desk in front of a large Union Jack, sees a client.)

Client: I would like to complain about your spelling. You add too many unnecessary letters to your words. Fancy adding an 'o' to anemia! Are you mad? Why can't you hone it down? I'm tired of writing things on my computer and seeing sensibly spelled words underlined for ridiculous errors. The war is over, sir. We've no more need to encrypt our correspondences. Now I've had it with these spelling anomalies of yours. If you don't adjust your dictionary at once, I shall be forced to boycott Coronation Street. And that's just the beginning.

Bureaucrat: Unnecessary letters? My dear boy, h-wat on Yarth are you tall-king about?
