Non-PRO (3): writeaway, Rachel Fell, acetran

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.

the dead don't care either way if zombies talk/whisper

zombies are not supposed to talk at all but these ones do...However, the dead don't care either way since they're dead (and definitely not talking!) so...you'll see, when you're dead yourself that you won't care if zombies talk or whisper!

My reading anyway!

though you might discover thy're not talking zombies at all but humans disguised as zombies...

In the issue, fans learn that walkers were not actually talking but there was living, breathing people disguised among them. How did they camouflage themselves among the herd, you ask? Well, it turns out that a group of survivors covered themselves in zombie skin to blend in with the undead

agree Helena Chavarria : I agree that if someone doesn't mind, it means they don't care one way or the other.
