In the course of my job this week I found out that German truck manufacturer MAN offers 'driver behaviour analysis' in which it rates HGV drivers from A (the best) to G (the worst). Not so interesting, perhaps. But I'm tickled by what the ratings stand for:
A – absolute stars
B – benchmark performers
C – competent and could do better
D – development required
E – economically and environmentally expensive
F – frightening
G – goodbye!
Obviously someone at MAN likes playing with language. And is it GCSEs or A-levels that have a grade of 'N' for 'nearly a pass'?

It's A-levels.
So MAN do their ratings in English then?
Very interesting blog! maybe you are interested in this network too: www.babelyou.com
In this a social network where people of many country in the world can show and teach its own language and culture. You can meet new people and learn a new language totally free. I hope this was useful and interesting for you.
Good luck with your blog
Bye!
Sarah - it appears so. Or perhaps MAN also has a similar rating system but in German for German drivers. Anyone out there know?
How can a truck driver be worse than "frightening"?
