Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Yvonne Gallagher, Rosa Paredes

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.

according to traditional practices

In 1995 the State of Oaxaca took the radical step of allowing each of its municipalities to decide on its own form of elections. Prior to that year, the candidates for municipal president, tax collector, and various commissioners ran as members of a political party, and the voting, at least in theory, was by secret ballot. The reality was that the PRI party controlled the great majority of the local governments. The new law allowed each municipality to decide if it wanted to choose its officials according to its own traditional practices (usos y costumbres) or if it wanted to continue with the political party system.

agree philgoddard : I prefer usual or common. Traditional has slight connotations of colourful or oldfashioned.

according to custom and usage

The term custom and usage is commonly used in Commercial Law, but "custom" and "usage" can be distinguished. A usage is a repetition of acts whereas custom is the law or general rule that arises from such repetition. A usage may exist without a custom, but a custom cannot arise without a usage accompanying it or preceding it. Usage derives its authority from the assent of the parties to a transaction and is applicable only to consensual arrangements. Custom derives its authority from its adoption into the law and is binding regardless of any acts of assent by the parties. In modern law, however, the two principles are often merged into one by the courts.
