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.

Peer comment(s):

agree Jennifer White : Seems more likely. Private sector doesn't work here / Your ref. is absolutely right - mentions independent Quebec cinema and Mireille D.

neutral writeaway : your ref only refers to "independent Quebec cinema" so I don't see how you can be so confident.

agree Corbett AM : Independent is used all the time in cinema, where it's produced outside the mainstream. 'Private sector' is best used for other businesses and organisations (private vs. public sector for e.g.) but not the film business/world.

disagree Eliza Hall : Independent cinema = movies made outside the major studio system. In some countries the government may provide some funding, but both major-studio and independent movies are typically produced in the private sector.

neutral Jennifer White : I can't see any reference to the private sector in your reference, nor reference to Mireille Dansereau's film

Even if "private sector" might not be mentioned explicitly, it's quite easy to infer what I wrote, based on the overall context of the piece, as well as the original French.
