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.

: I think the "$" sign isn't necessary if you mention the currency. What do you think? | That's interesting I've always seen it and placed it before the number. I think in Europe sometimes they place the euro sign after the amount - not sure, though.

Hi, Giovanni. I think I placed the (USD$) after the numbers, because that's the way I always state my price for any client who contacts me, because that's what they almost always use in their request.

: The currency goes before the number, and you've effectively said "US dollars dollars".

Your "disagree" is bogus, as well as your total lack of "agrees' on many of my answers, which isn't helpful to askers at all. Anyway, "USD$" is a group of representative symbols, used as an acronym, and is almost never "said"/spelled out in words.

Remy van Tol
: I'm sorry, but I have never seen USD$ in English. It's US$ or USD.
Edit: if you search in Google on "USD$", the vast majority of results is in Spanish. That should tell you enough.

Oh, but I have./I'm afraid it doesn't, since google results, esp. because of what millions of us now know about that company and their practices, aren't necessarily all that valid or reliable.

Besides I believe there should be no space between the denomination and the amount. And the source says "tuvo", so you should change "has" to "had".
You may want to use "our company" if they're talking about their own company.
