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.

Search terms no longer need to be 3 characters long; I did a search with "po" (as I was convinced this question had come up before) and the answer came up in the list of results.
| Thanks, I did search the glossary, but the search terms need to be at least 3 characters long, and I didn't know that it stood for pour ordre (which is why I put p.o. in the title of the question, so if it went in the glossary it would be searchable with p.o, whereas po wouldn't be searchable) |
| right you are, I was still using the old search! I think the messages to check the glossary first are a bit needless. I've seen them here and there and they always come across more curt than helpful, and most people would look around before posting a question anyway |
