Jul 14, 2023 11:32: Jennifer White changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Rachel Fell, Rob Grayson, Jennifer White

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.

Reference:

quite a few possibilities,

aadl.org/ The stanhope, named after a noble lord, is another of the family of single-horse two-wheelers; and so is the sulky, for one person only; and so the buggy, and the jaunting-car, and the whisky. The landaulet, as itsiiame implies, i a lighter and smaller landau. The barouche, a favorito open carriage in summer, is of French origin, as is the barouchet. The britzschka was introdnced from Bussia about half a century ago. Why the phaeton is so named we cannot pretend to say; but the vehicle so called bolongs to the barouche and britzschka group. The cabriolet is French, and so is the vis-a-vis. Droitzschka came from Bussia or Poland - an odd kind of an affair, modifled in England into a vehiele fitted for invalids, aged persons and children, with its formidable name shortened into drosky. The curricle is one of the few kinds of twowheelers with two horses abreast; while the tandem is a ttraggling affair with two wheels and two horses, but one of the horses behind the other. The cab (short for cabriolet) is a handy bachelor' s vehicle; the gig is about the lightest of all, being little more than an openrailed chair, supported on the shafts by two side springs; the dog-cart is a gig, with a space underneath to contain either dogs or luggage; while the tilbury, named after the coachman who invented it, is a modified cab.

Cabriolet is well known, and I do not know which should be used, depends on who you are advertising to, and what the theme of the advertizing consists of.
