I am not kidding. This is not a fabrication. At a cost of 27.5 million dollars, NYC is switching the lettering on all of its street name signs from ALL CAPS to a combination of All Caps and lower case fonts.
Why?
FEDERAL REGULATION. I mean, Federal Regulation. This became a law in 2003 and municipalities have until 2018 to comply. Of course this was originally a pork barrel study. Some politician owed somebody a favor for getting elected and threw millions towards the donor’s kid who needed a grant and they put together a meaningless , but very, very scientific study which concluded that MORONS CAN’T READ THIS AS QUICKLY AS this.

Of, course the study is BS. They claim this is a “safety issue.” If it’s such a pressing safety issue why is there a 15 year grace period.
