You can basically separate them in blocks of 20%: A, B, C, D (fail), E or F (really bad fucking fail). 0-20 is really fucking bad, 20-40 is bad, 40-60 is average and barely a pass, 60-80 is good, and 80-100 is excellent. 75% is 75% anywhere regardless of if you call it a B or a C or an ostrich.

Many academic institutions call anything over 85% a high distinction. Doesn't make it any better or worse than calling 85% shitting the bed or whatever you want to call it.
Given the subject matter of the actual argument, this is a fucking amazing post
