One might, I suppose, make the argument for "she got four Bs and two Cs," but "he got straight As" looks like crap, so let's call the whole thing o'ff.
P.S. I don't know why we're content with picnicked but not with arcked, but arc'd certainly looks nicer than arced, unless of course you just cba about any of it.
