Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

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.

monthly picture

I think the other suggestion is most likely correct.

But perhaps they are saying that there are more pages when looking at the monthly picture.

It seems a little off to me to be referring to the "monthly peak" in the way "pic mensuel" is used in the original.

For instance, the range is "in the order of 20 to 100". If the peak os higher when looking at monthly level, then it should be "in the order of 20 to [whatever the actual range is]"

However, I think the ambiguity I refer to has more to do with the quality of the original text.
