Summary

These days, it seems as if everything is measured by ratings and rankings. Businesses ask us to rate them even before we've left their doors. It's all a bit too much sometimes. So how do we rank something in Hebrew?

Guy explains the root ื“ืจื’ which includes within it the Hebrew words for army rank, escalators and the highest echelons.
