Almost Uncirculated = AU55 and AU58
I already know I am in the minority and I am okay with that
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
The grades AU50, 53, 55, and 58. A coin that on first glance appears Uncirculated but upon closer inspection has slight friction or rub.

funny how many people think it means "almost uncirculated" I catch myself saying it too, but it really means "about"
Not that it really matters at all.

Almost About Uncirculated = AU40 and AU45

About means around, could be a bit more or a bit less. Almost clearly means a bit less.
AU means LESS THAN Uncirculated ALWAYS
ALMOST $100 means LESS THAN $100 ALWAYS
but
ABOUT $100 could mean $98.50 or $101.86
ALMOST is the proper term

Well it does matter from one end of a spectrum to another... not that I'm complainin', mind ya. But there is a difference from what one thinks is AU and what is.
...AU has to have luster. It's easy to see.

How about a new grade?
XF48 or Almost About Uncirculated?

Nice logic. I agree with you and use almost uncirculated myself.
almost uncirculated about half of the time.
Either works for me.
