    Besides a spelling reform of some kind (perhaps 1/2 Cut Spelin & an
adapted phonetic system based on I.T.A. [International Teaching Alphabet], I
think it would be intriguing to follow Steven Roger Fischer's predictions for
the English language (as described at some length in his _History of
Language_, "Future Indicative," pages 214-220). He describes a possible World
English that is more influenced by Latin American Spanish and Chinese
(Mandarin) {as well as other languages, technoculture and slang}. In another
word's, an English simplified somewhat more along an isolating/analytical
language than ever before, but not a "mutant English" pidgin nor quite yet a
literate* creole.
        (* "Literate" as in having:
        -> international status in statistics/officialdom,
        -> a set system of both phonology and Romanized phoneticization,
        -> the beginnings of a literary canon)

    ... just tossin' me 2 euro in...
