Advertising copy talking about the fact that each issue of a technical journal is read by more than one reader...

"Mit geschätzten Ø 2,9 weiteren Lesern liegt der Multiplikatoreffekt deutlich über dem Schnitt der Fachzeitschriften"


Can anyone tell what the Ø symbol means? Is is 'approximately'?


TIA

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Steffen Walter

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.

@Kphred Yes, but it is also used to indicate the average value of something.
Kphred May 16, 2012:
Ø : This means "diameter"

Das ist schade für mich!
disagree Kim Metzger : Diameter would make no sense here. A diameter of readers?
