Did they had the equivalent of A, B and C certs, then...…. I'll bet you had to go to Harvard or Yale to get the C...

Plus, you ended your sentence with an unnecessary preposition. If we are trying to assist our American friend with the correct terminology for our superior electrical items, we should be careful not to let him think our grammar is inferior...

So, perhaps we should start every sentence with a conjunction, that will really make him feel at home.

Capital letter at the start, full stop at the end. Anything more complex than that and you're talking to the wrong guy.

Maybe this will help on both sides of the pond..
