Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): Yvonne Becker, Sol, BelkisDV

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.

Discussion

BelkisDV Jul 29, 2006:
Concuerdo con Henry (gracias), se necesita más contexto ya que la pregunta es simplemente ´mundo color de rosa´ and not ´ver el mundo color de rosa´. Gracias y saludos.
Henry Hinds Jul 25, 2006:
Viendo que existe cierto conflicto, creo que se indica un poco de CONTEXTO (una frase).
Perdona, Mónica, hice un sancocho con los cambios de idioma :( Lo siento, espero que ya esté bien.

Las referencias hablan por sí solas. La pregunta es: mundo color de rosa. Hemos contestado, permitamos que el Asker decida sin más interferencias.

Sol, ponerme "disagrees" para restarme puntuación porque no te caigo bien solo te perjudica a tí. Yo pudiera hacer lo mismo con tus respuestas pero no soy ese tipo de persona. Espero lo recuerdes en el futuro.

No debemos inferir a qué se refiere el ´Asker´
ej: 1) El mundo es color de rosa desde que...
2) Vivo en un mundo color de rosa.
3) Mi mundo es color de rosa.

Etc., etc., ninguna de las oraciones anteriores incluye ´ver´. Favor seguir las reglas de los KudoZ.
Gracias.

No me sorprende tu "disagree". Mi respuesta está más que clara. Ciaíssimo Sol.
disagree Stuart Allsop : Sol is correct: the question asked for the "standard phrase" in English, which is what your REFERENCES say, but not what your ANSWER says: "To view the world through rose-colored glasses".
