French is inefficient in the sense that you write a lot more letters than you speak, but to my knowledge it's at least consistent - unlike this JavaScript of spoken languages.

In German and Spanish, letters have same phonetic in words as in the aplphabet (mostly), but Spain isnt very handy in tecnical and mathematical expressions.

ON- OFF = ENCENDIDO - APAGADO Worse also French - ninety eight = quatre vingt dix huit = four twenty ten eight
