Non-PRO (1): AllegroTrans
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.

: Maybe "in" is used in your continent. I have never heard it. Just only commenting on "in" vs. "by."

Thank you, Molly. I would use "by", but it seems that "in" is acceptable in other Englishes.

No worries, Phil. Patinba's answer makes sense.

With ups and downs
How do you use leaps and bounds?
Examples of by leaps and bounds
I visited it just the other day, and it is going up by leaps and bounds. ...
It is going up by leaps and bounds. ...
I do not expect for a single moment that progress will be by leaps and bounds. ...
The consumption and use of water is going up by leaps and bounds.
It means quite the opposite: progressing erratically with plenty of ups and downs, as in the following examples:

"Ups and downs" a phrase that often goes together with "Life" is the best translation I can come up with at the moment, perhaps someone can improve on it.

: The title is usually translated as "leaps and bounds", but I think you're right - maybe that's why Wendy asked. The idea of ups and downs, the darker side of life, is also supported by this interpretation: http://utw10658.utweb.utexas.edu/items/show/2701
