 @nina_kali_nina I wonder if most people just think “dot”. In English we have “stars” and “asterisks”, gold stars, etc... I don’t know if I think about celestial bodies much when I see these usages but maybe I should! Great job on the exam you get an iridescent supernova 3 comments
@nina_kali_nina Oh I didn’t even think about that! And then you have flags, which may or may not be related. Watch your step, this is probably an extremely deep rabbit hole  @thankfulmachine the oldest mention of stars in army rankings I could find was France 1803. US flag from 1777 already had five pointed stars, and then there were stars known as mullets in heraldics everywhere! Indeed the rabbit hole is deep |

@thankfulmachine now that I think about it, there are stars for grades and rankings. Apparently stars for hotels were used only since 1844, but what about the army? I can't find anything T_T
