F for failure... But anything after Y (Yield strength) is permanently altered...

In this case Point Y is already permanently altered, IRL usually by 0.2 %.

In life, we can [not] be afraid to reach the next stage, plastic region, we must be willing to go further (elastic region) even if we fail.

Once we reach failure, then we can improve and acquire an adequate margin of safety, so we may move on to the next project!
