  Perhaps we should also all learn Esperanto as well, since English is such an inefficient and inconsistent means of communication.

  Have you tried? You start to run into trouble the moment you have fractions and exponents.

  There's been some work on english language versions of mathematical expressions, which at the very least can help with accessibility.
