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.

Joseph Tein Aug 22, 2015:
It's good that you l ooked in the KudoZ glossary. And as Helena points out, anything ending in 'grafia' in Spanish is inevitably going to end in "graphy" in English ... this is very, very basic. You look at your source word, do a google search for "electroneurography" and away you go. No need to post a question about this when the terms are so obviously identical.

And as I've commented before, be careful about your spelling here because it will carry over into your work. "couldn't" has an apostrophe between the n and the t. If you want to be a decent professional linguist, your writing should reflect that.
Helena Chavarria Aug 22, 2015:
@Luke I got as far as as googling 'electroneu' before the word appeared. If you don't already know, '-grafía' in Spanish is often '-graphy' in English.

The glossary here is a good resource for finding terms and phrases that don't always appear in dictionaries. If you need the translation of a specific word, then it's always better to use a dictionary.

@ Joseph I did look at the kudoz, but couldnt find it at the time.
regards.
Joseph Tein Aug 22, 2015:
KudoZ asking guidelines KudoZ should be used for requesting terms help after having searched the KudoZ term search and other resources. When asking a question, sufficient context should be provided. Even when there is no other context, the subject area and type of document should be indicated. It can be helpful to enter sentences or paragraphs where the term in question occurs

There was some reason you couldn't find "electroneurography" in google? Did you search?

Electroneuronography

Electroneuronography (ENoG) is a neurological non-invasive test that was first described by Esslen and Fisch in 1979 and is used to examine the integrity and conductivity of a peripheral nerve. It consists of a brief electrical stimulation of the nerve in one point underneath the skin, and at the same time recording the electrical activity (compound action potentials) at another point of the nerve's trajectory in the body. The response is displayed in a cathode ray tube (CRT) or through the video monitor of a computer. The stimulation as well as the recording are carried out by disc electrodes taped to the skin, and the technician may use electrically conducting gel or paste to bolster the signals being input and output. Alternatively, the recording electrodes may also be used to pick up the electrical activity of a muscle innervated by that nerve. In such instances electroneuronography is closely related to electromyography.

Overview & Description

Nerve conduction velocity testing (NCV) is used to evaluate damage or disease in peripheral nerves. In this test, electrical impulses are sent down the nerves of the arms and legs. The electrical impulse is applied to one end of a nerve. The time it takes to travel to the other end of the nerve is measured.

agree Joseph Tein : Yes ... but why do his work for him? This is so obvious and simple to find out on one's own. // In that case you definitely deserve an Agree.

Thank you, Muriel :)
agree Neil Ashby : He can't even bothered to say please or thank you, nor grade the question, just leaving it to the community. Some people are just take, take, take.....
