A For Effort, Revisited.
Jeremy called me this morning after reading my last blog post and said, "It's not A for effort, it's E for effort because effort starts with an E." I informed him that I was aware that E was the first letter in effort, but that I thought the saying implied that you got an A not because you deserved it but because of your worthy effort. So then I googled "A for effort" and found that there are varying opinions on which is the correct saying. What do you think? Leave a comment!

yall are crazy....I am totally taking Erica's side on this!
You get an A for effort--it's not A as in effort. I can't believe I've joined this debate!
I have to agree with Erica too. An "A" for effort just makes so much more sense to me here.
It has been brought to my attention that "E" actually was a grade until the early 70's. "E" represented the grade between 60-69, hence the commonly used phrase at least you get an "E for Effort". Consequently "E" was still failing so they just stopped using "E" and called grades 60-69 F's as well.
"A for Effort" is my vote!
I think it is A for effort because you are getting a good grade for a good try E for effort according to Jermey would be like say you tried and YOU FAIL! since it used to be a failing grade but what do I know. I think it should be N for good job :P
Erica is an awesome wife and mother and I really felt bad for her when she tried to spice up the pasta with shrimp. It was not her fault that Kroger sells bad shrimp. So my comment "e for effort" was based on the fact that although the shrimp "failed" to be edible, Erica did put forth great "effort" which should be rewarded with an "E" a "check +" and a "star" (lol). I love her so much and I am glad that all of you have posted your comments even though you are all wrong (especially that sell-out Randy).
lol : )
i'll resolve this whole debate....drumroll please...it's "A for effort", sorry jeremy, but you do get an "A for Effort" on this one.
:)
I am not a sell out thank you very much just because I said I could see your point does not mean I am always going to agree with you.
Oh yeah while we are name calling you are a Meany pants for calling me a sell out poopy head.
I have been learning some sweat insult from the kids :)
