@luccava: sorry to stereotype, but ive yet to meet an asian who doesn't say "im sorry" when they find out i got a 90.

@luccava: "what did you get on the test?"
"a 90"
"oh. im sorry."

happens after every single exam.

@Anonymous: Oh I get it now. It is because we assume that you are unhappy not to get a perfect score. We're not meant to tease you. And because we lack of expressing that kind of feeling (due to our extreme politeness) we just say "sorry". Maintaining harmony, I guess...

@Anonymous: It's not that extreme.

@SneakyDungHeap: It's useful, but the drawers are too small and too wobbly for a monster to sleep comfortably.

@luccava: E is a letter grade?

@Jiakko: Uh-huh. It's the worst grade.

@Jiakko: modern day F because F has such a bad rap, that they make it seem better as an E. there is also an R nowadays that stands for REDO (you fucking idiot)

@sonofnothing: My college still does the A, B, C, D, F thing.
