The simple answer is… The “F” literally stands for “Fail”. A, B, C and D are all passing grades (well, in some situations a D is not considered passing, and even a C is not passing in some courses). Everything else is just a “Fail”, or F. If “Fail” were spelled like… Zfail then it’d be a “Z” grade.
