How do you say A*?

As the title says, how do you say the grade A*? Like, A-star, or?

Ablexicorinth would have been cool, though.

I had an english teacher who taught us for one year who pronounced it A starred :P it was hilarious and eventually we questioned her on it

Person 1: Whats an A starred?
Teacher : The top grade
Person 1: Isn't that an A star?
Teacher: They're the same thing, doesn't matter
Person 2 (Me): Well it kind of does...we are in an English lesson

Funniest thing ever, even other teachers who found out about it found it funny and agreed with us :P

A star. Never heard anyone call it anything else!
You just say 'U' or 'F' instead of A-star.Simple really.Only old fashioned people say 'A star'(losers :rolleyes:).

If I was a Californian Valley Girl, I would say OMG A Plus!

If I was Asian/Chinese, I would say an Asian C.

If I was German, I was say Ein (1)

P.S Does anyone else detest that stupid A* grade? It demoralises practically every other grade. I wish AS grading applied itself to GCSEs and A Levels.
