Non-PRO (1): Oriol Vives (X)
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.

: This extract is from a speech by Theodore Roosevelt (you can google it and find an existing translation). The crucible is definitely a metaphor for America.

On the other hand, if it's supposed to be a quote from Theodore Roosevelt: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/r/roosevelt-immigration...
then please quote it correctly: "to see that THE crucible turns our people ...". And in that case forget this answer.

Ah, si era nombre de una empresa u organización, no me di cuenta. Si fuera así, entonces sabio el consejo de FVS.

MEDIAMATRIX: Perdón, tuve breve fallo cerebral, había visto no hace mucho un comentario del otro colega y me confundí... Quise decir 'entonces sabio el consejo de mediamatrix'. Te ruego me disculpes, buen colega.

Perdón, se me trastabilló el cerebro, o lo que quedaba de ello a la hora de leer los comentarios... Justo había leído algo de ese usuario en comentarios sobre otra palabra y se me chisporroteó la neurona. ¡Mil disculpas por mi confusión!
