See also: Whifferential (in beta testing) - the advanced formula that takes into account what grade you’re convinced your card will receive, in order to determine what (much lower) number it will actually receive.

See also: Onomapopeia - the litany of curses that flies out of your mouth the moment you find out what horrible grades your cards received.
How about Grading Recidivism: cracking a slab open in order to resubmit a card, convinced that this time the grader will get it right!

Love these sayings….
