Non-PRO (1): Robert Roata
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.

That is to say; namely.

writeaway
: one would have thought that with the many non-improvement improvements, they would have bothered to correct a real problem, namely finding terms in the glossary, that's one prob that really does need 'fixing'.

Thanks! (I've been away for almost two months, so not sure what's been happening. However, yes. The "term search" function does not work properly and the coding problems (Greek massacre) seem to have... remained. :-)

: The "terms search" function used to work much, much better. Less "bells and whistles" might be a good thing. Don't "fix" what isn't broken.

: Revised comment: I had believed for some time that this was unclear, and it's a fact that experts disagree, but your certainty got me digging further. Bouvier's Law Dictionary (1856) agrees with you: http://www.constitution.org/bouv/bouvier_s.htm

: The appropriate confidence level for an outright guess is 1, not 4.

Sorry, I just thought you were a little bit sarcastic, but I guess you just wanted to help. Thank you. I know how the confidence level works, but given the fact that the question was vague I chose to use the level 4, even if it has proved to be wrong.
