Latin term
Ireland
usus, or consuetudo ecclesiae
When yet his scope is clear to lessen that distance of superiority that seemed to be between him and him, because of these titles. 2. The very expression will bear the same, quat jam Ecclesiae usus obtinuit, &c. which necessarily importeth, that sometimes such difference was not in custom in the church: and where will it be found in Augustine, that he compareth any custom of the church after Christ with what was before, as different customs of different times of the same church? for to him, and almost all the fathers, usus, or consuetudo ecclesiae, is ever taken, when given, as a ground of any practice as contradistinguished from divine institution, as in the last cited words of Jerome is clear. Also, it may have its own weight, that he is now writing to Jerome, whose judgment in these things was not unknown to him: He must therefore be supposed to use the same, as it was understood by him.

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.
