English term

from a ZZZ perspective vs from the ZZZ perspective

Non-PRO English Art/Literary Journalism
seems to be that usage has both in equal proportions
cannot wrap my head around the difference if there is any

Dec 15, 2016 11:45: B D Finch changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): acetran

Non-PRO (3): Tony M, Barbara Carrara, B D Finch

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.

Either is OK

I don't think there is any difference in meaning.

Thank you.
agree B D Finch : I think there is a slight difference, i.e. whether there is only one ZZZ perspective in relation to the matter at hand, or whether there might be several possible views that may be taken from a ZZZ perspective.
