Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Neil Ashby

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.

Agree with Mary.

Hi to all. I am a golfer. In my experience the challenges are "on" different or specific holes. Meaning, on hole five, you have the long drive challenge, on hole 7 you have the best approach challenge etc.

at specific holes

I understand this to mean that there will be special challgenges at some (not all) of the holes of the golf course i.e. "specific holes"

neutral David Hollywood : means "specific" or "particular" in golf-speak

As we have seen, I understood the concept but didn't have the specific jargon, which is why I am happy to have got the ball rolling, if I may use that expression!
