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.

agree Kim Metzger : Right, we don't say "at morning" or "at evening". Maybe morning, noon, evening, night

disagree Schtroumpf : Aus 8 Buchstaben werden hier 30?? Kann eigentlich nur falsch sein, denn Englisch ist normalerweise konziser als Deutsch.
12 hrs
disagree Alison MacG : This answer adds nothing but a synonym for noon, two glaring non-native errors and definitions of very basic EN terms - all unnecessary and/or irrelevant given that the question was the meaning of 4 DE abbreviations answered 2 hours previously.
19 hrs
Translations should always refer to the context. Noon is less suitable as it means 12 o'clock, while midday has a greater tolerance. See: "12 o'clock p.m.," also "midday meal," acc. etymonline.com
agree Tomasso : Sounds good to me, use of prepositions, in English we say take this pill AT Night, AT noon (but IN the Morning true)

Thank you! Finally the confirmation for "at".
