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

Jutta Scherer Aug 3, 2010:
I agree with Armorel This definitely looks like the writer got the grammar confused, and that the venue was originally meant to refer to the patio and gardens
Armorel Young Aug 2, 2010:
Confusion is justified The English makes very little sense. Yes, a venue is a location, but normally in the sense of a place large enough to hold a number of people. "The French doors" isn't exactly a venue ("How many people can the French doors hold?" is a nonsense question, whereas "How many people can the venue hold?" would be a perfectly normal one. There are various things which might be intended but which the writer has failed to express - perhaps it is the patio and gardens that are the arrival venue, or perhaps the French doors are the point of arrival, which people pass through fairly quickly to get to the event proper. Or perhaps the intended meaning is "meeting point", if a small number of people is involved. I don't think the real meaning can be deciphered from this text (although the surrounding text might shed light on the matter).
Ellen Kraus Aug 2, 2010:
venue is being used in the sense of location, i.e. the place where arriving spectators or guests gather
