Linguistics major man.

Fail is a 'future tense' verb. You don't say "Wow, Bart really fail," because that's implying Bart has failed sometime in the time to come (and it sounds silly!). You would have to say that 'he failed' to imply past tense. Failure upon failure, would reflect failing multiple times in the past. Failure is also a noun and a verb. The way you wrote it, fail upon fail is two verbs. Run upon run. Read upon read. Eat upon eat. None of those are correct. But two nouns, such as race upon race or book upon book (or failure upon failure, much like your posts!) is perfectly acceptable.

Troll harder.
