Bonjour Monsieur, la langue française veut vous parler.

  French is pretty good in my limited experience of having one way of pronouncing a written word (although I'll give you that Monsieur breaks all the rules). But for going from speech to writing it's no good. "Trois vers verts traversent vers le verre" comes to mind.

    The rule was "write as you speak". There are some words in French where the rule apply, "avec" for example, but they are the exception.

      I flipped that didn't I? Damn. Good point.

    French is one of the few languages where competitive dictation is a thing. Like a spelling bee but with more puns.
