The Fascist Federal gunvernment is forcing New York City to change ALL of its approximately 250,000 street signs from ALL CAPS to upper and lower case because—oh, you know why: the ALL CAPS signs are not as "safe" because they're not as clear to read.* Considering the epidemic of accidents (Not!) that has occurred in New York City in the past decades because of the "gross negligence" of  NYC sign makers, I know that as a New York City resident I can sleep better at night knowing that my street signs are being made "safer" for me. The total cost to myself and the rest of New York City taxpayers to change the signs? $27 MILLION DOLLARS.

*As a former desktop publisher, I can attest to the fact that it is true that a word written with just an initial cap rather than ALL CAPS is easier to read. But that generally only makes a difference when there is a string of multiple ALL CAPS words, NOT just one or two words. If anything, a street sign made up of one or two words in ALL CAPS is more pronounced, i.e., easier to read than a street sign printed in initial cap format.
