Businesses in the heavily Asian city of Monterey Park, Calif., now must post their signs in English as well as in Chinese.
The requirement will help promote economic development and increase public safety, the City Council said in passing the change unanimously. Businesses now must install at least one sign that uses the "modern Latin alphabet," KNBC-TV reports.

“Deformed man toilet”? Does that mean “handicapped” or something more insulting?

Why don't they just cut through the B.S. and require all signs to be printed in all the languages the electoral ballots are?
I think there are about 17 of those now.

Back in the early 50s, when the Puerto Ricans started pouring into New York City, our enterprising Chinese Laundry posted a sign that read “se habla Espanol”. We all thought it was hilarious, not realizing how prophetic it was.
