And MJ itself does tiebreaking by providing + and - to the actual grade returned. For instance, in the 2007 Orsay experiment, Bayrou got Good+ while Sarkozy got Good-. So I don't think the grade inputs should be given with + and -, because the method appends a + and - to the result as part of the tiebreak process.<div class="HOEnZb">

In theory, that also makes AA- possible, but I doubt any candidate would ever be that good. (Previously, I'd suggested that the additional grade be called "A+", but an "A+-" possibility would be too confusing).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, I have no problem with the idea that there should be a table on the ballot of grade:adjective correspondences somewhere on the ballot, probably at the bottom. "AA:Excellent A:Very Good B:Good C:Fair D:Poor F:Unacceptable". ("Reject" is an abbreviated translation from the French, but in English the poor parallelism sets my teeth on edge. I'm not threatening to cap anyone over it, though :). )</div>
