Sep 10, 2007 12:45: Tony M changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Anna Quail

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.

collection

Doesn't it just mean the collection taken as the congregation are about to leave? Usually, in the Mass, it comes earlier, but in the special case of a marriage, that woldn't be feasible.

I've heard the term 'retiring collection' for this sort of thing, but can't remember if that is specifically found in an R.C. context

Thanks, 1045! (do your friends call you 'quarter to eleven?)
agree David Goward : Perhaps it's at the end of a wedding ceremony because people are less likely to leave before the basket is passed around? ;-)/I was jesting (although I've seen ppl leave mass before the basket reaches them!)

Thanks, David! I think it's mainly because there isn't really any other point where it can be fitted in, except perhaps during the signing of the register // As a kid, I thought you could take money OUT as well as put it in...
