But they're comparing the English translation of Japanese for each name of the month with the Latin translation of English for each name of the month. That doesn't correlate well.
If you actually compared the two, with English representing English in both cases, it would be January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.
How is that any worse than the Japanese in English, whch is....ichigatsu, nigatsu, sangatsu, shigatsu, gogatsu, rokugatsu, shichigatsu, hachigatsu, kugatsu, jūgatsu, jūichigatsu, jūnigatsu.
I personally find the latter to be much more confusing since it was never taught to me, whereas the former is instantly recognizable and nothing about it and the system it is a part of is confusing to me. I'm just playing the devil's advocate here. Not being Buzz Killington.
