If a book is rejected from pre-screen, is it given a potential grade? 4 4

It's the same with pre - prepared food. 

Is that a double Pre?

Pre-pre-pared

Or Pre²?

Dethaw is the opposite of thaw. To dethaw would be to freeze something that thawed.

So you must have meant to refreeze the hamburger that you thawed, which is usually not recommended. 

dad?

Dethaw is a non-standard expression. When x number of people mistakenly use a word, it worms its way into the common language. Usually resulting in "both are correct ".

My guess would be because the graders would probably have to look through hundreds of books just to find one 9.9 or 10.0...  

Good guess!  As you might expect, The rarity of CGC 9.9s and 10.0s varies by publication date/decade:

• For 2020-29:  1 in 117 (0.85%)
• For 2010-19:  1 in 99 (1.01%)
• For 2000-09:  1 in 112 (0.90%)
• For 1990-99:  1 in 462 (0.22%)   
• For 1980-89:  1 in 1188 (0.08%) 
• For 1970-79:  1 in 4621 (0.02%)
• For 1960-69:  1 in 31,500 (0.003%)

Very cool.  Where did you get those stats?  Would be interested in seeing other stuff like that.

Like the way pacific now gets used instead of specific? Doesn't make it correct! (I also hate misuse of the word reference instead of the perfectly adequate refer. (Not to be confused with reefer.... )

Anyone know what this means, because I submitted my first set of comics and one got kicked back.
