Non-PRO (2): Drmanu49, Joanne Archambault

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.

Nikki Scott-Despaigne Dec 28, 2010:
age group, age range Two possibilities here. Either a slightly unclassic use of the word "frange", perhaps even a non-native writer, or a handwritten document with "tranche d'âge" in mind, much more usual.

the minimum age OR the age threshold

Frange = limit, threshold. (Robert-Collins)

This sentence could mean: How is 50 or 65 justified as the minimum age?
Peer comment(s):

neutral Chris Hughes : essentially the meaning is right, but I think it's a little cumbersome - the others flow better
2 hrs
But there are 2 diff meanings: 1. Starting at 50 or at 65 2. Between 50 and 65. The question is: which of these is the accurate translation.
neutral SJLD : 50 is minimum, 65 is maximum age limit for inclusion
