Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Anjo Sterringa, Deschant

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.

En America Latina "underwriter" por lo general no se traduce. Pero si fuese necesario hacerlo, se traduce como "suscriptor". Las C�as. de seguro tienen su Underwriter. Es un empleado que eval�a los riesgos de suscripci�n.
Saludos.

"Underwriter" es aquel que aplicando normas de la compa�ia analisa una solicitud de seguros y recomienda la aprobaci�n o impone requisitos de informaci�n adicional. Tambi�n existe "mortgage underwriter" con funciones similares dentro del campo financiero.

for example I got aseguradores and subscriptores, but I'm not a laws person, so I don't know whether I'll put my foot in it...

ok Thanks for your help..and for Anjo, if I ask this is because I'm not sure about the results I get from the dictionary. I do not do this to waste your precious time
Anjo Sterringa Jun 13, 2005:
What about buying a dictionary or consulting an on line dictionary?
