English term

shell crackers

Non-PRO English to Romanian Other Other
Cartridges and **shell crackers** are the most common means used throughout the world to scare birds. The visual and auditory effect of cartridges and crackers vary but is a direct and variable method that can be taken to wherever birds are situated. Certain types produce an explosion when they are fired or when they have traversed a certain distance while others only detonate at the end of their trajectory. Some leave smoke trails or flares and others produce a whistling sound. Pyrotechnics are fired using revolvers, pistols or shotguns.

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.
