	Comments:	I don't mind either way. Anyone digging into it can read these comments.
26.	A* 2024-09-18 01:47:08 Marcus Richert <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	I do understand what you mean but what I'm saying is that it doesn't really have to be read that way. A+ and A++ are different from SS and SSS as we actually have SS and SSS entries - that point here.
25.	A* 2024-09-18 01:08:23 Robin Scott <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	What I mean is that "SABCDEF" doesn't include "SS" or "SSS", so "S" can't be anything other than the top rank on that scale. I don't think this is any different from describing "A" as the top grade even though A+ or A++ may exist.
24.	A* 2024-09-17 03:08:59 Marcus Richert <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	Is the (usu.) really confusing? usually the top grade (on a SABCDEF scale), [sometimes the third grade]
23.	A* 2024-09-17 02:07:16 Marcus Richert <...address hidden...>
	Comments:	But not top rank when thr scale goes up to SSS, still. I think it's a shame to not cover this usage at all.

	Comments:	On an SABCDEF scale, "S" is the top rank. I think the inclusion of "usu." is confusing here.

	Comments:	I agree with Marcus. A short explanation is probably enough, though. On an unrelated note, should single letter abbreviations be tagged [abbr]? We agreed that acronyms aren't abbreviations in Japanese. Can the same be said of letters?
