The Elk Rating System

For certain articles that provide a review (e.g. books, etc) I'll use the following, very straightforward rating system:

Rating
 Meaning
The highest rating, something I feel deserves my highest praise.
Something deserving of high praise.
Whatever it is, sure, I liked it.
Hmm, I really didn't really like it.
I never even want to think about this again, why did I post about it?

Of course, when further granularity is necessary, I'll employ half elks ().

Note: the Elk Rating System has only been in effect since June 27, 2004, so reviews from before that will not have a rating.
