Daniel Bates recently had this story in the U.K. Daily Mail:
"Cash-strapped cities and towns across America are having to pay out millions of dollars on new signs under orders of the federal government - because they are the wrong letter size.
Washington officials have demanded that every single street sign in the nation which is currently in capitals must be replaced because they are supposedly too hard to read.
In their place will be new signs with the same green background and the same font, the only difference being that they are in lower-case letters.
For some cities the cost will be millions of dollars at a time when budgets are being cut and salaries frozen."
