Tongue-Tied

Using characters from the Spanish alphabet on California street signs is a great idea (Aug. 21). However, this is only the beginning. In order to be fair to the people from other ethnic backgrounds we need to start printing street signs using Chinese characters, Arabic characters, Hebrew characters, Russian characters, Greek characters and on and on.

Eventually, the state of California can simply change its name to the state of Babel, printed in the original Babylonian, of course.
