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.

In response to Mirra's "I could find NO EVIDENCE AT ALL of 'post 68'"
The sense in which I have suggested it is simply that of "after the '68 movement, phenomenon, style, fashion or however you wish to label it" giving the Isle of Wight and Jean Paul Sartre as a general pointer. Of course I didn't post without checking against empirical evidence on Google. The problem is eliminating instances of "Post #68" and "American legion post 68", but there are plenty of examples if you care to sift and look and I do find your capital letters, and emphatic tone, suggesting that I post of the top of my head offensive Mirra_. However, I thought the phrase sufficiently well known and self evident, not to need references. I was evidently mistaken:

The Protester
(1) “Hats are always in,” says RNCNotWelcome.org, an activist Website that urges protesters to wear baseball caps to avoid surveillance cameras. But baseball caps are so boy-band. Instead, suggests Bouwer, why not take a tip from Madonna (or Monica) and don a stylishly subversive French beret? Very soixante-huitard.

ah sorry forgot
"Léaud is a former '68 activist turned successful but neurotic prosecuting attorney who finds his guilt far from assuaged when he allows desire to lead him"
http://www.timeout.com/film/newyork/reviews/72823/The_Marcor...
(and it's very close to the Italian meaning: he does not look like an hippy but you can guess he was it)
just like as
"The "justice" minister of Berlin - who is an old '68 activist - is throwing the full force of everything she has at her disposal at this lone brave soul"
http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/016800.php
"A former May 68 activist kept about forty original placards designed by artists"

Of course, nobody has ever said that 'post 68' has not a meaning for itself.... but this is not the point dear Jim.......
ahahahhahahahahhaha :))
If only Jim would care reading what he calls """"""evidences""""""" he will understand that 'post 68' is always used to define a time period or, at maximum, the cultural movements born in those years but is NEVER USED - AS IT IS IN ITALIAN - to describe a person.

: Aptly you did not translate style (not in the question). [Forget about "hippy & retro"!!]

yes, for sure! :) (even in some cases political activism revealed to be a sort of fashion trend ;))

Katia DG
: Former 68 activist would be ex sessantottino in Italian, or simply sessantottino. The "post" implies, in my opinion, that the style we are talking about is something that came after 68 and got over it.

*WOULD be* exactly. In this case, despite the importance of your opinion, in *general* opinion 'post' is used with the same meaning you attribute to 'ex'. Give a look around in the web if you don't believe it... :)
