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.

Providing the guests with privacy.

"A plunge pool is discreetly tucked away of guests to unwind in peace" is poor English. I would say: a diving pool is discreetly tucked away, enabling guests to unwind in peace".

Thank you.
agree kmtext : I'd maybe leave it as plunge pool, especially if it's referring to a pool near a sauna, but otherwise agree.

Thank you. You may be right, but I'd never heard of a plunge pool and thought it was probably a term based on the French verb to dive: plonger.

situated where it is not overlooked

In other words, the privacy of its users is undisturbed because it is not viewed by passers-by etc.

Perhaps you mean "for guests", rather than "of guests"?
