Oh wait, we only have one "journalism" school in this state and their graduates the same ones not covering who really painted the tiger paw on the cockaboose.

The plus system helps you if you have lower grades, but from my experience blows if you have higher grades. Top two in a small class that might have gotten A's will probably get an A (4.0) and an A- (3.67). But definitely you are more likely to get a C+ (2.33) or a B- (2.67) rather than a C (2.0).

Does USuC use the -'s too?

If so, what GPA is awarded for a B-.
If properly used (which I doubt they do) it should not lead to grade inflation.

B- is 2.67, C+ is 2.33.
It's basically (+/-) 1/3 point but with no A+. You definitely end up with fewer plain Cs and Ds. A lot of the time, unless a kid really pisses you off, you want to give him a little more than he deserves at the lower end. Then at the higher end, you want to reward the best kid a little more. That's the subjective nature of grading most types of classes. I think it pushes everybody more towards the middle, at the expense of the harder working kids and to the benefit of the lazier kids.
It's rough in grad school where a C is usually a failing grade.

Because almost all grades are subjective in some way. If every test was multiple choice or true-false, it would be easy.
