Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Edith Kelly

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.

No need to be sorry :) The thing is that I have no more context :D It's just a small list of features of a new microwave oven ... and the tum table above mentioned isn't my typo actually ... it's so in the original document :)

Sorry to repeat on Kenneth - we must have contributed simultaneously! Glad we agree!!
William [Bill] Gray Sep 4, 2006:
Apart from the fact that this is a clear misspelling for "turn table" (a google search will turn up plenty of references to that!), we really need a bit more context to offer specific information about what kind of turntable it might be. Can you provide?
Ken Cox Sep 4, 2006:
my money goes on an OCR error: turn-table. It would certainly help to provide more context (including a more specific classification).
Dina Abdo (asker) Sep 4, 2006:
This is to be translated into Arabic But I had the question there for a long time and got no responses :(

turn-table / turntable

Aha! If it's a microwave oven, it must be a turntable (interestingly enough, there are several 'legitimate' google hits for 'tum table' (i.e, not just juxtapositions), and at least some of them should apparently be 'turn table').

rn -> m is a very common OCR error, especially with sans-serif fonts.
Something went wrong...
