Well it's numbers, but it's hella different.. for example "fail" is like 'fuck off, you didn't make it loser' while "insufficient" is more like 'this time it's not enough, but if you put your ass into it, you can surely make it next time'
Also, fail does imply that you tried.. while most of the time when people get the worst possible grade, they didnt even try, but left the paper blank or somethin'.

Trauma-san:
^ So fail implies that you tried, and didn't make it, but insufficient doesn't imply the same thing?

A= Excellent
B= Above Average
C= Average
D= Below Average
F= Fail

Makes sense to me.  Why would you do it any different way? I don't really think there's a better or worse way to do it, there's nothing to gain other than maybe standardizing it, which would be useless because what difference does it make?  Changing it specifically for the purpose of avoiding ridicule is crazy, if you get an F, you deserve ridicule.  It's my experience throughout my 18 or 19 years of education that the people that Fail, usually didn't try.  Even the most idiotic, unintelligent kids got at least a D or a C if they attempted to learn.  Teachers hate giving F's, you really have to piss them off to get one.

It's numbers so it's different? LOL... ok so someone saying "you received no points" is different from "you received 0 points"? I mean it's 'numbers', so it has to be hella different as you say. LOL @ your interpretation of the words fail and insufficicent. Yes, fail does imply that you tried, and so does insufficient. When people get the worst possible grade, it doesn't necessarily have to mean that they left the paper blank because generally (from my experience) a Fail means a score that's 50% or below the total number of points possible.

Fuck You, Pay Me:
Like Trauma said, it really makes no difference what you call it... the title doesn't change the result.
