The European Commission has announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU, rather than German, which was the other contender. Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had room for improvement and has therefore accepted a five-year phasing in of "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make sivil servants jump for joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k", Which should klear up some konfusion and allow one key less on keyboards.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f", making words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.
In the third 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 horible mes of the silent "e" is disgrasful.
By the fourth 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 similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and everivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. ZE DREM VIL FINALI COM TRU!

That looks awful much like German to me.
Me too.
I just buy menthol, mint, and watermelon, and put some of each in my tank. I'm definitely a menthol person, but I like a bit of sweet. I was reading about koolada, cool but no taste. That might broaden my scope a bit, menthol doesn't go with everything. And I bought EcigExpress brand sweetener. Is one sweetener different from another? I'm expecting to have the most trouble making a good natural tasting sweet watermelon. I've only found 2 brands of premade that are any good.
If you guys have favourite recipes to share, that'd be great. Or sites that have good recipes pretty consistently.
In a menthol recipe koolada will intesify that cold sensation you associate with menthol. But a word of caution - if you decide to use it start by adding only a drop (assuming you're making a 10ml test juice). Koolada can get too strong really fast.
