Nov 28, 2012 00:47: Cilian O'Tuama changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"
Non-PRO (3): Tony M, Ildiko Santana, Cilian O'Tuama
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.

You need to take account of the fact that [often jocular]
e.g.: I'll have you know that I was once a famous hot-dog vendor at New York Yankee games.

: Well, one can say, "I'll have you know that the Smith's kids are the ones who ripped out all your precious tulips!" (Just made that one up - and it could be a lot worse - so often it isn't all that jocular.) :-P

: Depending on the context, and I'm wondering if the word infernal is a typo - would internal work as well? - this phrase often introduces a counter-argument to what the speaker/writer has said. Might be said by a know-it-all, an arrogant person, in jest

Thank you! It's pretty readable with "hellish regions" in the sentence as well! "I'll have you know, when you cross the river Styx..."

"...and, by the way, while we are on the subject, why do you (expletive deletd) Saxons persist in using that heinous cutting implement callead the seax, you know, the on Shakespeare, "Seax-behre," was named for? I'll have you know it is outlawed even in the infernal regiona. --Yöur old buddy, The Universal I.D."
he likes to use wits... a lot (what sometimes makes his texts very difficult to translate).
