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.

NO, I know what you mean, but "graphic" is understood in its literal meaning in this context
| OK - I was just wondering if it might sound 'racy' to the non literary! |

: I have serious doubts about this - it is classed with comics and mangas. Surely it is one of those things where they picture characters (real people) in situations and have them talking with balloons coming out of their mouths. Usually romantic claptrap

Not sure what your grounds are for think this should be the case!

but 'roman photo' may be one sort, polyglot.
