Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Steffen Walter

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.

relaxing massages

To my ears "relaxing massages" would be far more natural.

(Yes, I get my ears massaged on a regular basis ...)
Peer comment(s):

agree Steffen Walter : ... and more common, judging from googling.

neutral Francis Lee (X) : massages are generally "relaxing" by definition (hence the Google result, Steffen); this is a particular variety and is distinct from e.g. a Swedish massage

If this is true, then "relaxation massages" would be tautologous as well. I never mentioned Google, by the way, just what sounds natural to me. // OK, I get the massage ...
