I can keep track of more than one word perfectly fine.
Why do you only want one language?
It's practical to have just one for internal affairs, and it corresponds to the reality of the (especially North Western) world. English is the diplomatic language now and I can't see a justification for the trouble of maintaining another as official in an organization, even those I like more (German ❤) or speak better (Czech). Yes, the French were "entitled to be entitled" in the 19th century but not really after 1940 and 1958.
French is the international language of jurisprudence, hardly irrelevant. I quite like German myself, but that is hardly a reason to stop using French.
In my experience, people that don't like how German sounds can't understand it. Once I started learning it, I found it to be quite pleasant.
I believe this is the reason why you don't like French, despite the fact it is a very beautiful language: you don't speak it.
