Gracias de antemano,

Ah, es un placer estar participando de nuevo, resucité después de dos semanas "electrónicamente" muerto por un virus o lo que llamaría "fiebre informática" (me costó un disco duro)

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.

Si Ricardo, por lo mismo lo digo, en el caso de los cerdos es para evitar el �olor sexual� al cocinar la carne. A pesar de que algunos estudios dicen que el cerdo entero come menos y rinde m�s kilos.
Por otra parte, sigo pensando que el t�rmino �castraci�n� queda mejor en ese contexto.
De nuevo gracias

Flavio: la palabra de alcance amplio es "esterilizaci�n". Sobre la crueldad de la operaci�n (yo la hice varias veces, con torillos): no est� en el acto mismo, que es incruento -- una tenaza presiona desde afuera, sino en su finalidad.
