New Grading Scale Needed?

As many here know, my current grading scale is quite unique. I aimed to try and make a very easily quantifiable grading scale, by using words such as "amazing" and "satisfactory" and "needs improvement" for example, I was hoping people would give much better, carefully thought out grades. The problem with this idea is it's too complex I fear for students to use!

Although I think it may lose some information, the benefits of switching to a tradional A/B/C/D/F scale would be greater because it'd be easier to read since we've all been brainwashed with those grades already. Also it'd add a touch I think to grade instructors back the way we grade them.

The four different catergories will remain under this new plan. Please vote on the poll to voice your opinon! Changes will be made by Sunday the 17th, if the vote swings that way.

Thanks!
