Impressive. I hope that title came with a large certificate and some sort of official luncheon with the Premier.

On the B- Seriously, I don’t even know why they bother with the minus on a B.
The C- , I can understand “You passed, but you’re a loser”.
The A- is the university gold standard for receiving the small byline “with distinction” on your diploma (loves it) and getting into grad school.
But the B-, is just a huge bitch slap. “Your work was almost, kind of goood, but not exactly good. Err… honestly, everything about you is just plain mediocre. B-.”

Plus the minus is devastating on the Uvic 9-point scale. Damnable 9-point scale. Ouch.

At least now you can unleash your cliches and passe jargon onto the world-wide web for all to see.

Apparently I overused cliches and my jargon was so passe.
