Change log

Jan 12, 2009 01:06: Premium✍️ changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): mattranslate, GILLES MEUNIER, Premium✍️

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.

Discussion

wfarkas (X) Jan 8, 2009:
FTSE 200 in my preceding question should have read FTSE 250
David BUICK Jan 8, 2009:
I think it's a sneaky piece of marketing. The company has contracts with n companies listed on the London Stock Exchange but trying to make out they are the best-performing companies (by analogy with Fortune 500 perhaps?). A bridge too far in translation?
wfarkas (X) Jan 8, 2009:
The London Stock Exchage does not seem to provide any quotes under FTSE 500.
It provides quotes only for FTSE 100, 200 and 350. Is FTSE 500 a typo ?

neutral Tony M : Yes, but this is the Footsie 500 / Yes, i think it's essential, to differentiate from the perhaps more widely-known FTSE 100

I was translating solely "the words on the card", but I suppose one could add "500". Otherwise Stéphanie's solution works fine for me in the wider context
