Great article! Thanks for sharing, Don!

In my social circle, +[n], where n is often either 10, 20, or 50 depending
on the level of compliment, is common. It definitely is more prominent in
writing, such as in online game environments, but it bleeds over into
speech. Just this morning a friend responded to something particularly witty
in spoken conversation with a simple, "+10". So, +1 hasn't given me any
grief in usage. Yet.
