Color me

a pedantic old fart, but how can you convince people that literacy &, in this case, numeracy skills are important when they're confronted by such things as a Top 50 list that contains more than 50 items.
"Sydney's Quay restaurant has moved up one slot to become the 26th best restaurant in the world. The three other Australian restaurants on this year's S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants list were Sydney's Tetsuya's at 58 and Marque at 70, and Melbourne's Attica at 53."
Nobody fails anymore. Instead, they're given a D or an E or an F or even a ZZZZ pass.
