Some years ago, when Canadian Federal buildings were beginning to
get bilingual signs, a friend of mine sent a written complaint to
Canadian National Railways about the signs in the Ottawa station.
The signs that used to read "EXIT" had been changed to
          "EXIT   SORTIE"
and he flet that if they were going to put French on the signs, they
also should add English.

WAY OUT, man!
