seduced me into wanting to give everyone an A+, I now feel, having since
been dubbed a stern authority figure, that I should start awarding grades
simply on the basis of e-mail salutation, with pluses and minuses for
misplaced commas or other punctuation errors.
"Professor Ritchie" = A

What amazes me about A+ is the _concept_.
Apparently, in America, "A" is 98. Thus, A+ is 100.
This does NOT make logic. To me, A is 100. And A+ is more than 100.
Etc.
