Non-PRO (1): GILLES MEUNIER

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.

10WT est l'indice de viscosité de l'huile. Il se laisse tel quel.

10% en poids d'huile

Hello Peers, long time
I think this is called 10% en poids d'huile (in proper Frog French. What you say Tony? Cheers
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : I don't believe so, Christian: the examples you cite are referring to '% by weight' (i.e. not voulme) in EN, but are not referring to '10-weight oil', which does indeed refer to its viscosity; difficult to see how yr suggestion in % could mean this in FR?

I agree with viscosity and would've thought the % in weight helped calculate them centistokes and therefore, 10wt means 10% of the weight (in oil) Am I wrong here ? Thanks anyway Tony. Long time I've been out of these polluting oil fields :)
disagree gayd (X) : very unlikely
