The actual term you use does not matter much. In Sweden we pretty much have that kind of terminilogy ("not passed" is the lowest grade). But to get it is just as traumatic, since everyone knows what it means.

The point is we shouldn't be using newspeak for things like this.
Or anythings at all.

I'm not supporting it. Tongue Rather saying that you should stick with the terminilogy you have and not mess around with it.
