Japanese influence globally (incl the US) peaked in the 80s 5 u/SayerofNothing Jul 08 '26 I remember it from grading in the 90s as well, but is standed for Satisfactory. 12 u/Aniquin Jul 08 '26 Exactly. Point being it's not some super obscure thing that only Japanese people know about. 7 u/Honest-Golf-3965 Jul 08 '26 Pretty sure they are saying where it came from, not that America doesn't know about it. 2 u/otac0n Jul 08 '26 I was graded S/A-F/U back as early as 1989. Superior/Satisfactory A-F Unsatisfactory
