It's true that this is a positive development, but it's only a good first step in America's bid to catch up with the rest of the civilised world. Congratulations, Americans! Here are some more issues you can work on:

• The metric system. It just makes sense.

• Stop unnecessarily remaking foreign films, especially ones that are already in English.

I'll get back to you if I think of anything else.
