I strongly disagree with this.

Firstly, your grading system is stupid. 5/10=B-? If I take a ttest and I get half the questions right I get an F, not a B-. Your system needs work. It's very innacurate.

Secondly, this will create extra work for admins. If this was a rule then Admins would have to reply to dozens of comments telling them to use letters. I don't see how this makes things easier. It would just be over-complicated.

Thirdly, people could abuse your system as well. You say you don't like how people give numerical ratings without going into detail but people could do the same with the letters. Someone could just comment "B+" without going into any further detail.

Fourthly, this isn't a big deal. There are much more annoying things people do in the comments then this. This is such a minor thing to get all worked up about.

I like how you want to change the vague comments so many people give but quite frankly this won't work and it will just create more problems. Try to think up something different.
