I spend a lot of my day job looking at graphics and can't help but think there is something amiss with all of the letters. The E maybe right but looks upside down and the M's and A are backwards.

Hello,
The E is OK but the M's and A are definitely backwards. Sorry, it's a bummer, but there is a convention to that, I used to be a sign writer and must have painted 100's of thousands of letters.

On the contrary, I think sign painting is a wonderful art form that people do care about and admire, whether it's instilling pride in a place, shop or area, or simply brightening someone's day when they walk past a well made sign. Have you seen this film? http://www.signpaintersfilm.com/
But not noticing and not caring aren't the same, and I do think that most people wouldn't notice the correct orientation of a serif typeface unless it was pointed out to them. Doesn't mean they're not going to love the choice of typeface or the sign for which it was used.
