Off the mark 

Tongue Tied notes that in England, you can't fail the national standardized tests; you get an 'N' instead for 'Nearly'.
People who grade tests have also been instructed to stop marking math questions as right or wrong, but instead use the terms ‘creditworthy’ or ‘not creditworthy.’
Apparently, HURL is branching out. (Hat tip also to Helloooo Chapter Two for noting this "we're done as a society when..." moment.)
