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.

“Fumes” are heated solid particles temporarily suspended in air while "vapors" are gaseous. Smoke is a fume while steam coming from a pot of boiling water is a vapor. Though these two words are often used interchangeably, the differences should not be overlooked.

hat are Vapors?
Vapors are generally defined as a gaseous form of a specific substance that is normal in a solid or liquid state. A chemical, or other item, that is either solid or liquid when at normal room temperature and at normal pressure may turn into a vapor when heated sufficiently, or when the pressure is increased.
You can typically get vapors to return to their solid or liquid state by reducing the pressure or temperature sufficiently. Another important thing to keep in mind about vapors is that they can diffuse into the air in most cases. This can make them quite dangerous if you are working around them since the vapors may not be immediately visible (depending on what the vapor is from).
What are Fumes?
Fumes are a particle that has evaporated from a solid material. For example, fumes are often emitted while welding. According to OSHA, fumes are typically, “Less than one micron in diameter.” Fumes can be quite dangerous, depending on what it is that the fumes are coming from.
In most cases, however, since fumes come from solid objects, they won’t occur without warning or being anticipated. For example, when welding an object, the people in the area should know that fumes will be released, and take any precautionary measures they deem necessary.
