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.

Conurbation has the exact same meaning as conurbação. Of that, I am indeed certain. Given the fact that this term can only mean one thing in both languages, one only needs to apply it correctly.

: Leapfrog is being used as a verb in most of your references, meaning to overtake other cities. We don't have the context, but we're looking for an adjective.

In most, perhaps. Not in all. And it is the concept that matters here. I am merely trying to help the asker with relevant examples. You do like to "neutralise" just fo the sake of "neutralising", without giving a suggestion yourself. Happy Easter!

On the other hand, many veteran askers post questions as Pro that are not even close to Pro.
