Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): esperantisto

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.

~ don't give a fuck

Though I reckon no one gives a fuck if I live/survive or not, I don't give a fuck, either.

agree Judith Hehir : Sounds like English, I'm afraid, though "reckon" isn't used that often these days.

Thank you, Judith. You are right, "reckon" is probably on the decline, it just seemed right to me to put it here (for no particular reason). Maybe because it fits well into the prosody of this phrase (personally, I'd pronounce it in a single exhalation).

Thank you, Russell
agree Jack Doughty : Is "reckon" in decline? I didn't reckon it was, but maybe I just hadn't noticed (мне похую anyway)

Thank you, Jack! Given the two opposite opinions - Judith's and yours - I can only *reckon* it probably depends on the dialect :-)

fuck

i think this can pretty much be translated as the F-word
хуй is dick
no one fucking cares, i don't fucking care etc.

but you should really label this question as having potentially offensive
material
Peer comment(s):

agree Alexandra Goldburt : "nobody fucking cares" is another good option. And, yeah, it is a "potentially offensive" question. But one of my teachers said "If you cannot stand РУССКИЙ МАТ, consider a different profession¨.

very true, but a little warning would have been good, you never know who is standing behind your shoulder as you are looking at your e-mail :-) Thanks
