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.

This is turning into an interesting discussion among us coffee lovers....

Sabine Piens
: I agree with "Café Crème" ; French Coffee however, is like Irish Coffee but with Grand Manier instead of whisky

Thanks Sabine, I agree with you that 'French Coffee' sometimes contains Grand Marnier (and I have even seen recipes with Kahlua) but in those cases the beverage was referred to as 'French Coffee Drink'.

| agree |
Suzanne Jansen
: yes, you could also keep café crème, depending which country the machine will be used in. Okay in Begium, caffé latte better in the Netherlands

Thanks Suzanne, but what about 'koffie verkeerd' in the Netherlands? I agree with Sabine that 'caffeé latte' is coffee with hot milk.

creamy coffee
It is a black coffee with a foam layer on top due to the coffee brewing process (think also: home-made variants with the Senseo machines that are so popular) and doesn't have any milk or cream unless you put it in yourself.
