I fear i'm out numered by Brits here. "Maths" and what grade is E? WE have A, B, C, D, F. Oh well. different places, different other stuff. Like driving on the right side of the road, and the placement of the steering wheel. And other stuff like that, well cherrio, and i'll see you next tea time.

Our gfrading system is A*, A, B, C, D, E, N(No grade), U(Ungraded). Both N and U are equivalent of F in the states, so I hope this helped a little.

Its now A*,A,B,C,D,E,F,G, U. Everything is a pass except for a U which stands for unmarkable. Although passing with a G isnt much to be proud of.

Thanks for the correction, Manic. Had we got this system when I did A level Maths, I would probably have passed, instead of my N. Though it would have been a G, for sure.

wow you guys have alot of room for error over there. I mean a few fuck ups for us and we fail, you have a good 2 letters more to go through, which also means, that it takes less to drop a letter, so i guess i got it easier.

It's probably as broad as it's long, so there is no difference.

oh. Ha it's hard to type today, we were playing basketball(don't know what you guys call it over there, maybe "tall man's game" or something) and i jammed my pinky on the ball. It's now a plump ripe plum pinkie.

Here we just have percentages. 49 and below is a fail... 50 and above is a pass. Though the higher the better.

0 - 49 is an F in highschool, but an R in the younger grades.
50 - 59 is a D
60 - 69 is a C
70 -79 is a B
80 - 100 is a A

Anwyas, what do you think you will study, Fox?

Oh and P.S. If you don;t like it when i keep calling you Fox, just say. I can always ajust to Manic if you insist. : )

oh ours go like this

A: 100-90
B: 89-80
C: 79-70
D:69-61
F:50-0

so if you miss half of a test, or of anyhting really you fail it.

Politics is good to get into, you should really consider that route.
I am taking English and Fine Arts (plus a couple Philosophy courses for tips).

Okay, that is fair... Manic. I just liked Fox much better.

Well, at least you have some idea of how the system worked. I managed to get 85% for my statistics exam and only got a B for it. I needed 86.25% to get an A. The reason: the exam board takes all the marks and sets a median range graph for it (Don't ask, it's confusing as hell) then they say, let x have an A grade, y have a B and so on. Had I got that mark for Pure maths 3 (Logarythms and shit) I would have been in the top 2% of the whole country, so an A.

That is brutal. They base your mark upon the rest of the countries marks? That is like comparing apples to oranges, that is aweful. Here we base it upon a curicculum, so everyone is being based upon the same level.

If you prfer to call me fox you can. Im not to bothered really. the only people it is going to confuse our people I dont know/care about/

They dont base it on the rets of the people taking the test. they base it on the test itself. If a test is rwally hard they will lower the grade boundaries so you might only need 70 odd % to get an A.

That is still stupid. If it is following a curricculum, it is fair no matter what. A tst shold only be as hard as what the curricculum tells the teachers of what they must teach.
That way just makes little sense to me, like i said before it like comparing apples to oranges and not apples to apples. It just does not seem fair or logical to me.

okay, let's not.
I know lets talk about valintiens day!
No sorry, family joke
I do have an idae, lets chat about how internet lingo and grammer don't mix.

Anyone working on any current projects?

not really, i mean i have to write something for school by next wensday. So i'll take any ideas that you guys have. and i'll post the finished product sometime over the weekend.

maybe its just me but I feel everyone ignored my previous post on the last page, maybe no one wants to talk about it, thats fine.

not right now, I want to work on a flash project but:
1) I have not been inspired by anything
2) all I can think of for a flash is sensless killing and I think there's already enough of that on New Grounds, I want to come up with a good story that would be easy to animate. oxymoron (spell?) animation is never easy. believe me, of course it is allot easier with a lunch box and some clay, or paper cut outs, atleast for me, I think Iam more of a hands on person, its easier for me to move something by hand rather than click and drag. hmmm, I think I may have just been inspired! just a second..................

i'm wondering if I should write an exert from my PsyGuild, perhaps the opening..... Yes i'll do just that! So hoiw do you think i should oppen it, a slow start telling about the chaerecters, or a fast paced opending that discribes them whiee there's action so no boredom? I like #2 but i'd like your guy's input.

I think Iam invisible. I'd like to sing that "Mr. celafain" song from Chicago, but I dont know the lirics.

okay...... so what about my problem, what do you suggest?

At 1/5/05 09:00 PM, newbman wrote: okay...... so what about my problem, what do you suggest?

me personally? I would use the second opening better, it will drag the reader or viewer in. they'll get excited and want to know more about the characters. BTW is this the story about the two telekinetic girls or whatever? cuz I got an idea. I think they should have a little talking telekinetic cat, seeing as how in a lot of animes there are cats that always show up in an episode.

no, no cats. I think talking animals in a show that has talking people in it are overrated, and childish. No animals. OKay I think i'll start it when i log off of here.
