Grades
Ok we have to hand it to this Twitter user. The thought never crossed our minds that the American grading system includes A, B, C, D, and F- but never E. What happened to the E? E is for effort perhaps so it can’t be aligned with a low score.
For foreign students coming to America to study, this is no doubt a mystery. How can you jump from a D to an F? Arguably, if you’re already in D or F territory, not much can save you- not even an E. You’ll want to keep things more in the A, B, C range from now on.
