Ethiopia: If you misspell your business sign you may be fined

If you misspell your business sign you may be fined . According one news source any  governmental, public  or  private entity will be fined if any of their signs contain any misspelled Afan Ormo words. This comes after the local government starts enforcing its new rule in various signs across the city by simply putting a red hug  X  on signs and banners even hotel and restaurant menus who they think hold a misspelled or grammatically incorrect sentences. According to the Amharic news any future offenses (misspellings)   will be seen  as a violation  of city's code and business and governmental or public offices will be forced to pay hefty fines.

This could be the 1st in its kind to fine someone or business for misspelling a word or writing grammatically incorrect sentence. Some thinks the government is going to far to relinquish citizen's basic right such as freedom of speech  and other granted rights by the Ethiopian constitution. So far we have not heard how the Federal government is reacting this new local rules
