Dec 16, 2008 10:37: writeaway changed "Field" from "Law/Patents" to "Other"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): writeaway

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.

Building entrance point

or perhaps property instead of building.

or "entry" as opposed to "entrance":

There is no need to have just one building entry point or a guard at every door. Visitors can use a simple push button system to make a guard aware of their presence

agree Julie Barber : or perhaps estate, as the entrance could be in the garden or something. Property would work for that too.

Established entrance

the term patrimoine suggests inheritance - I take this to mean that this has been an established entrance. Otherwise why use the term patrimoine at all? But I am not certain.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Julie Barber : patrimoine here is an estate, not an inheritance. It wouldn't make sense to say the entrance point to an inheritance. Also, how could that change to established?

Thanks. I bow to your superior knowledge. I just thought that patrimonie suggested an inheritance of some kind, consequently my choice of 'established' to infer this. Always happy to learn though

Reception (entrance) (to this asset)

"Patrimoine" can refer to a capital asset. If the brochure is written in a rather pretentious style, the writer could be talking about this property as one of several in their real-estate portfolio, and "patrimoine" is probably used as a modifier in this spirit.

In the same upper-crust spirit, "Pointe d'entrée" could be called "Reception", expecially if manned by a doorman/concierge.
