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.

Could you close this question, please, Heidi? Thanks!

USP If you perform a search for "usp" and find no examples at all, that would support the theory that they have been removed - globally.

Indeed, Silke! I'm rendering it "actor" in any case.

That it appears that often can be a consequence of a find & replace mistake.
Heidi Newby-Rose (asker) Oct 19, 2016:
Maybe it's just a slangy short form??!?
Heidi Newby-Rose (asker) Oct 19, 2016:
No, definitely not - it actually occurs quite a few times over the course of 60 book reviews that I'm translating - in the context it always seems to mean actor, but I can't find the word ANYWHERE!

Could it be possible that there are some letters are missing? It would make sense: "Kleine Anekdoten aus dem Leben eines großen Schauspielers".
