redining seat / chair
(I am aware of the poor linguistic quality of this website, though.)
So, is there any such word in English as "redining" or "to redine" that has not made it to the dictionaries, yet? Or, does it make any sense for the native speakers of English? (Hopefully, it's not a chair where you sit to dine over and over again. :-)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: I can just see redining as a new word... dine on something and if you don't like it, return it and redine :)

: The OCR argument came immediately to mind for me. It is also probably the reason that the asker finds the word on several websites. I also think the treatment of Rita was a bit hard! KudoZ is ABOUT communication, back and forth! Go Rita!! (and Brie!)
