Thanks for finding all this stuff, HMcH, HtS, and PE!

This particular review struck me as really weird because the words suggest (with great enthusiasm and no negativity) a 9 or 10/10 score ... but the score they give is a 7.

Go figure!

That's what I thought, you go the effort of finding a word from every letter of the alphabet and then give a 7, bizarre

Thanks to HM for the review finding
