Well, she said the only one letter would be passed as a parameter, so I
didn't feel I needed ^ or $, but you're right... if the needs change and it
becomes more than one character, it will be necessary to add those, and in
fact it would have been better to have them on in the first place so no code
changes need to be made if the params change.

Good catch, Dave!
