Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

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.

Discussion

Tony M Apr 9, 2019:
@ Asker The use of this term is for a very specific purpose in EN, which may not be immediately obvious.
It refers to the manner in which they are made, by being bent, folded, etc. from basically flat metal sheets — as distinct from other fabrication methods such as casting, forging, or machining.
Note that very many 'fabricated' items will of course also involve welding the initially 'flat' components together, this may not necessarily be the case, as indeed seems likely to be the case here.

agree Tony M : That's generally the meaning, though do note that in this particualr instance, it may not be safe to assume there is any actual "welding" involved.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : Incidentally probably true, but this misses out the essential meaning in 'fabricated' — i.e. not cast, forged, etc.
