Change log

May 25, 2019 13:14: mchd changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): philgoddard, AllegroTrans, Yolanda Broad

Non-PRO (3): Rachel Fell, Yvonne Gallagher, mchd

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

philgoddard May 25, 2019:
I don't agree with the non-pro votes. I had no idea what PAC is, and had to look it up.
Tony M May 25, 2019:
@ Asker PARSING

You are parsing this wrongly: the '...de profondeur' belongs with the other peceding dimenstions and 'et PAC' is quite separate.
writeaway May 25, 2019:
typo? should be ET instead of EST?

(metres) deep and a heat pump

"mètres" has been omitted
"est" should be "et"
PAC = pompe à chaleur
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompe_à_chaleur
Or you could just say "heated pool".

"Creusée" is "in-ground" though you could omit it as it probably goes without saying.
Note from asker:
Thanks. I just found this definition of PAC, but your other comments are very helpful also.

agree writeaway : est is a typo for et -as I had already posted in the dbox/Aujourd’hui, la pompe à chaleur, ou PAC, est l’un des systèmes les plus économiques que l’on peut utiliser pour chauffer un bâtiment https://www.chauffage-info.be/pompe-a-chaleur

agree Tony M : 'in-ground pool' is an important extra asset, not to be overlooked; likewise, a 'PAC' is a very important added feature, so just 'heated pool' on its own simply would not do here. / Not here in EU, many are above-ground + PAC heating is cheaper to run.

Thanks. Most pools are in-ground, and most heated pools use heat pumps.

Par ailleurs, les pierres apparentes en façade donne un style provençal qui relève le charme vacancier de l'habitation. Pour les loisirs d'été, une grande piscine creusée (11X5 m) avec 1.70 de profondeur est un chauffage PAC, ajoute un atout considérable au plaisir familial que peut offrir ce bien de prestige.
L'arborisation est habilement implantée pour se préserver du vis-à-vis, bien que la parcelle soit assez grande pour ne pas redouter le manque d'intimité, avec environ 2234 m².

C'est une situation stratégique entre Genève, et Lausanne, avec un taux d'imposition communal attractif de 0.55.

Thank you. I am aware this source text is available online. I don't post links if I can help it to avoid linking my working process to the end client.

agree Tony M : However, if Asker fails to provide adequate context, it is very helpful to prospective answerers if the publicly-available context is provided — to avoid the kind of erroneous suppositions we see so often.
