Sep 10, 2019 12:46: Stephen McCann changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"
Non-PRO (3): Carol Gullidge, Jane Martin, Stephen McCann
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.

Helena Chavarria
: This is fine for the 24-hour clock but in UK English, when using the 12-hour clock a full stop should separate the hour and minutes, there shouldn't be a space before 'pm' and it should be written in lowercase (5.00pm-8.00pm).

A couple of references (UK English)
Times
Use either the 12- or 24-hour clock – not both in the same text. The 12-hour clock uses a full stop between the hours and minutes; the 24-hour clock uses a colon and omits am/pm.
The lecture starts at 11.30am and ends at 1pm.
The lecture starts at 11:30 and ends at 13:00.

Según la guía de estilo de la universidad de Cambridge:
Time
Time is expressed following a 12-hour clock, using a full stop between the numbers and without full stops in am and pm: 12.45pm. Times on the hour are shown without the full stop and minutes: 8am.
Use am and pm when referring to time in the body of text:
Opening hours are 11.30am to 6pm.
Note within listings, or where space is tight, am and pm may not be needed:
Open Monday–Friday, 10–1 and 2–5, and Saturday 10–4.

Sorry, Monday to Friday: 5.00 pm-8.00 pm isn't right, as there shouldn't be a space before 'pm' (Monday to Friday: 5.00pm-8.00pm)

Yvonne Gallagher
: yes, personally I favour the 5.00 pm-8.00 pm which I think is more common these days (and fast to type with break optional). Unless I'm asked for a different style that what I use.//It always depends on the style guide but consistency is most important

That's more or less what I told my client: 'Suelo aplicar las recomendaciones de las guías de estilo británicas, al menos que reciba instrucciones de seguir otras normas'. Thanks for your opinion, Yvonne :-)

: I convert 24-hr to 12-hr for nearly all purposes. I agree with point not colon in figs. I use a space before am/pm; your sources don't but most do in my experience; either is OK. I don't use points (a.m./p.m.) unless it's AmE, where they're required.

I think I remember someone telling me once that the space had disappeared before 'am' to avoid confusion with the verb. Thank you, Charles :-)
