No one has yet pointed out that the word you meant is spelled "great" not "grate". Although they sound exactly the same, they do have different meanings.

great = good, fabulous, etc.

grate = to cause irritation or annoyance (more commonly used as in "cheese grater" where you "grate" some cheese to put on your food).


Next time, I'll ask my wife to "irritate" come cheese on my dinner.
