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.

Then again...maybe I'm wrong. Oso just came up with another solution to this riddle.... Sorry!
Patricia Parten Jun 6, 2005:
Ok, first off... that's two words. You know that, right?? Sindrome algo distrofico. Dystrophy - distrofia. Somewhat dystrophic.

\"***Algodystrophic syndrome*** represents a group of symptoms involving pain and oedema of the affected extremity, with movement disorders, vegetative and vasomotor disturbances and focal osteoporosis development. The key role in the pathogenesis of the syndrome plays intensive and prolonged stimulation of pain receptors. The authors present a case report of 47 years old woman with Takayasu\'s arteritis complicated by skin defects on right instep and sole with consequent development of algodystrophic syndrome on both lower extremities. Combined influence of both types of nociceptive stimuli is demonstrated, ischaemic-obstruction of peripheral arteries and alterative-skin defects. ...\"
