Discussion
The reason for "vs." questions is not neccessarily to find two Slovak equivalents but rather to discuss differences between UK and Slovak systems of social security. I know the answers/translations (what I think it could be) but I am wondering if (as there is very subtle difference between them in English/UK) we differentiate between them back home. I could use just one term in "English term/phrase" field and put "Is there a difference between [English term/phrase] and [the second term]?" in the next field with the same effect but I think the "vs" way is more clear in such a situation.
Furthermore, both questions are for glossary of UK social security terms which, once finished (got three more terms to research), will be added to KudoZ for everyone's use.
