Ive often wondered if i ought to comment on this: We read articles here and are asked a simple question: "would you recommend this story?". There can be only 2 difinitive replies: yes or no. But we know that the "sense" of the question really is: "How enthusiasticlly would you recommend it?.. on a 1-5 scale".
So its time to get our "language" in tune with our "intent" , no?
