What French really needs is a comprehensive spelling/grammar reform. In Haitian Creole, "ne pas aller à l'école aujourd'hui" is written simply "pa ale lekòl jodi"! And one can just write "mwen" instead of having to differentiate "je" and "moi". (There's also a marker word "ta" that's entirely isomorphic to the English "would" in that it introduces a conditional modality.) Not coincidentally, English is basically a creole language as well. That's why it's so incredibly simple.
