Yes, it will - no sense trying to do it all at once because it's just not going to work.  Take it from me - it's not easy to get things changed around here.   Johnathan McClure ----- Original Message ----- From: Wizard of OS To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; U.S. Metric Association Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 2:22 AM Subject: Re: [USMA:22861] Re: Am I a US Citizen - Circles in signs Speed Limit is noct simple but stupid enough     I guess it will take the Americans decades to understand that we are a global community ----- Original Message ----- From: Johnathan McClure To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 2:17 AM Subject: [USMA:22861] Re: Am I a US Citizen - Circles in signs International sign?  Look - there will be enough fuss about turning over to km/h.  Getting the signs to be primarily metric will be hard enough.  We don't need to be introducing weird (at least to Americans) concepts like numbers in circles for speed limits.  It says right there on the sign, "Speed Limit."  Simple enough.   Now the tack-on sign for MPH is a good idea and would work just as well.   Here you go -   --------------- |  S P E E D  | |  L I M I T  | |             | |  *     **   | |  *  * *  *  | |  **** *  *  | |     * *  *  | |     *  **   | |             | ---------------      |2 5|          |MPH|         -----     ----- Original Message ----- From: G.
