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.

polaridade De facto só pode ser um erro. Vou mesmo considerar polaridade, mas não sei como posso classificar a resposta porque não estou com a hipótese de escolher. Ou seja, esta janela não me permite

polaridade

Na página http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP0835315.html , junto à palavra PETARITY, existe uma letra "b", que remete à explicação no rodapé, que diz: b. Oligonucleotides complementary to the genomic RNA have negative (-) polarities.
Assim, fica claro que está errado a escrita da palavra Petarity.

agree Elisabete Cunha : Sim, é mesmo. Vejam este link: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP0835315.html. Na tabela diz "petariry" mas abaixo da tabela já diz "polarity" e julgo que se refere ao mesmo.
