Actually, if you read Lewis Carroll, you're probably familiar with the part of the story where Humpty Dumpty says to Alice, "There's glory for you!" Alice is confused by this, and asks what he means by 'glory.' And Humpty replies, "There's a nice, knockdown argument for you."

Alice remarks that 'glory' doesn't mean 'there's a nice, knockdown argument for you.' And Humpty Dumpty says, "When I use a word, it means exactly what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less!"

If we apply Humpty Dumpty's logic to the problem at hand, then yes...there's an A in definitely. If you want one there!
