Explanation:
This is used in many contexts...like surveys and such, which fits with 'svar'.

Or are you filling in a software field?

Asker: open-ended response. Excellent idea. Nope. It is a governmental form.

Asker: 10 points to you. Actually, Proz should allow people to purchase Kudoz points. That way they (the Asker) can actually decide how many points to award!
