Probably because skipping it was too much trouble.

I think.
Maybe.

No joke.

Here, the letter grades are just for assessing your general ability. Which is why we don't have an F, because it's not F for Fail here. D and E are both failing grades in year 11 and 12. In year 10 and below there is not really such a thing as a fail. That is, I literally got 0% on Geography two years ago and by all means 'passed' it.

Also we kind of get used to the A-E letter system. In years 11 and 12, finishing them is a case of sink-or-swim. There is absolutely no distinction made between the bottom C student and the top A student (that's where TER and stuff like that comes in, but that's a different story for a different day, kiddos). Despite the pass/fail situation, we tend to still be given letter grades because we're just used to them. An F is considered an 'American Thing' here.

That's another thing I found funny. Europeans use "Year" and we use "Grade". I used to play GMOD with some Brit kid, and he was ALWAYS talking about school. And every time he mentioned it he'd be like, "So, tuhdae wuhs a gewd wuhn, yup. I beat up some kid in yeauh 6, and bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla."

Australians use years.

My sole experience with the UK school system has been "O yea Ei'm en 6th fouhm maisehf end Ei huv ah li'l sistuh en P6 end ah li'l brudduh hew juss goh 'es GSCE"

I haven't had much experience with it, to be fair

Yes yes, and Americans are rounder than a bowling ball and weigh 50 times as much and are as bright as a new moon, the French are cheese eating surrender monkeys, the Chinese are dirty communists... Shall I keep listing the stereotypes and mock offending people, or can we move on? Let's move on.

So sleep. How much of it did you get last night? Personally, I'm about to find out. Hooray for staying up far, FAR too late...

Post by **Dissension** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 9:26 am

I woke up at 9:00 P.M.; I'm not sure whether I'll go to bed in a few minutes or stay up all day and try to get some sleep after 26 or 27 hours. Not my longest without sleep by any stretch, but not something I like to do.

Your new set of export regulations is inadequately adjusted to the globalized market.

How about taking the last piece of cake at a turkish resort's buffet?

And yes, this still bothers me.

I knew I'd regret posting what I did when I woke up! Eh, I just listed the one's off the top of my head.

Umm...what's your favorite kind of chocolate? I prefer milk chocolate. I enjoy the sweet stuff, you know?

Sorry for that cake, I was really hungry...
And yes, we like turkish resorts.
And, to tell the truth, I was waiting for something like "drinking vodka in company of bears and then hunting for those bears, using AK-47"

I don't really enjoy the sweet stuff, but I like milk chocolate too...

I hate chocolate. Makes me feel sick. And it makes my throat feel coarse and rough. Maybe I'm allergic to it?

Eh, that is okay...just a shame. Coconuts are one of my favorites.

Speaking of which...lets talk about favorite fruits, and a fruit you want to try!

I like the taste of plumbs...Just so, sweet. *licks his tongue* One I have been thinking about trying is a star fruit.

1. Peaches: just love the sweet taste.
2. Blackberries: Love the sourness.
3. Kiwi: Ummm....not sure why I like them, but I do.

the plumbs skin always seems to stick to my tongue, so I have to lick it off.
