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.

SlawekW Aug 16, 2012:
łep, czy lep Bo patrzę na ten tekst (chyba) i jest "lep"... Treść żył stanowił tzw. „lep” będący ziemistą, plastyczną masą zawierającą średnio 0,5-3% ozokerytu. Głębiej występowała jego czarna odmiana zwana „kindybałem”. W spągu żyły ozokerytu miały zwykle czarną łupinę. Jej głównym składnikiem był prawdopodobnie asfalt. Wraz ze wzrostem głębokości zmniejszała się twardość ozokerytu.

wax stone

The latter, which is known as "wax-stone," is broken up to remove any lumps of rock and purified by extraction with boiling water - http://goo.gl/ifsDr

----------

and then the rock or shale having been eliminated by hand-picking, the " wax-stone " is boiled with water in large coppers, when the pure wax rises to the surface. - http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definitions/Minera...
