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.

Example sentence:

En retrouvant le tout premier de nos ancêtres connus de la longue lignée familiale, nous plongeons directement à l'époque du bon roi Henri IV, tout au moins à la fin de son règne et surtout à un moment ou la Lorraine entre dans une période de gran

Mais les choses tournent mal : ce grain est en fait le dernier refuge apparent de l'histoire d'une longue lignée familiale qui va réapparaître progressivement à la surface, remontant de génération en génération comme un saumon le courant
