I have C&P'd the above from the link which you provided. I realise that you prefer squabbling over words to over numbers (
), but am sure that even you wouldn't expect a student to achieve over 100%? And what does 100% give you? Oh, that'll be a first then
And the bit about double first - point still holds: it is a first in two subjects - ergo the highest mark is a first.
I might be inclined to concede the point on starred firsts (although am reluctant to do so as you were merely talking about double firsts earlier and I think that you have rather fortuitously stumbled across this particular point
). And besides, it does make the point that this is only awarded by
some institutions.
No, not willing to concede on the evidence so far. Keep it coming
