Comment: "Thanks Igor. Changed it slightly for glossary entry."
Discussion
The reason for "vs." questions is not neccessarily to find two Slovak equivalents but rather to discuss differences between UK and Slovak systems of social security. I know the answers/translations (what I think it could be) but I am wondering if (as there is very subtle difference between them in English/UK) we differentiate between them back home. I could use just one term in "English term/phrase" field and put "Is there a difference between [English term/phrase] and [the second term]?" in the next field with the same effect but I think the "vs" way is more clear in such a situation.
Furthermore, both questions are for glossary of UK social security terms which, once finished (got three more terms to research), will be added to KudoZ for everyone's use.
