French is Better than... Spanish!

I'm deciding which language to learn in next semester, so i google about them..
Below is one article i found quite interesting..

10 reasons why French is better than Spanish

1.French is (one of) the official language(s) in more than 40 countries
2.French is spoken as a native language on 5 continents
3.France is the world's number one tourist destination
4.French is the one of the official languages of most international organizations
5.French is the 2nd most commonly studied foreign language in the world (after English)
6.The French alphabet has only 26 letters (Spanish has 30)
7.There is only one French verb to be - être (Spanish has two)
8.French spelling is more mysterious, hence more interesting
9.The French R (pronounced in the back of the throat) is much cooler than that silly rolled Spanish R
10.None of that weird upside-down punctuation ¿ and ¡


The last reason is the most funny 1..I also wonder why Spanish have this weird weird punctuation! Haha...
