      I mean, it’s a valid question. The grade procession seems logical, following the alphabet from F to A and then it suddenly jumps to S for some reason.

        A to F doesnt really make sense, its just what youre used to. Where’s E?

        “S tier” is a common term in gaming, which has led to it being popularized on youtube in general, likely from Japan’s gaming influence and their own grading scale, as explained above.

        S makes sense to me if it’s rarely given. Supreme, Special etc.

        A-F tiers are ordinary. A is good, but it’s the expected level of good. If it’s extraordinary, S tier.

      You should examine what in yourself made you see snark in my question. I hope you have a better day tomorrow than you’re obviously having today.
