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.

grammaticality - What does it mean to say "The greater of _ or _" - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange
http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/119693/what-does-...
Цитата:
I am reading a document, and it is confusing me and want to be certain of the meaning of this sentence:
OUR COMPANY'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ACTUAL DAMAGES FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $500 OR THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE THAT CAUSED SUCH DAMAGE.
If the amount paid for the software equals to $200, then the greater will be $500 ?
and If the amount paid for the software equals to $700, then the greater will be $700 ?
Or is it the opposite?
Question 2:
Lets say I want to reword the sentence to be:
... Limited to the greater of $500 or %25 of the amount paid by you for ...
Any thing grammatically wrong with that?

2 ответа из той же темы:
1. You have understood correctly. If the software cost $200 then the most you could receive would be $500 because 500 is greater than 200.
2. Your sentence looks correct to me, except that that % symbol should be placed after the number, eg. 25%.

@esperantisto
Похоже, Вы не видите разницу между следующими фразами:
1) the greater of [value 1] or [value 2]
2) greater than [value 1] and [value 2]
Впрочем, мне лень Вас переубеждать. Думайте сами, решайте сами. Загляните в какие-нибудь продвинутые учебники грамматики. Каюсь, сам редко в них заглядываю, предпочитаю гуглить. :)

: Он не должен _равняться_, он должен _превышать_ наибольшую из этих величин.

Не согласен. Предлагаю не спорить, а дождаться нейтивов. Или я сам, если не поленюсь, найду правило. :)
