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.

Rampa muffs

The word RAMPA is a trademark and should be kept as is. The insert type was invented by Hans Brügmann. The company uses the word "insert" as their translation for the word Muffe, but a commonly used term is simply rampa muff. So in stead of the only suggestion, which was seconded, I propose rampa muff or rampa insert.

In Engström's technical dictionary a "muff" is entered as muff, sleve, socket, "gängad muff" is "screwed socket" (which concurs with your your picture of Rampamuff) "ramp" is a free translation of rampa.

I do not agree with ramp socket and can nothing to confirm the term. Can you show how you reached that conclusion?
