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.

AllegroTrans Jan 16:
Asker Why have you closed without grading? Was no answer suitable? What term did you use? Please share
AllegroTrans Jan 15:
OK This confirms Emmanuella's comment - 140XXX is the notary's practice number - 14 is the Département number for Calvados
Lucia28 (asker) Jan 15:
Yes Allegro ! Precisely !
AllegroTrans Jan 15:
Lucia Is the notary's address in the département of Calvados?

analysis

étude et compostage most likely means something like analysis and validation (by the notary, of the testament received).

My view is that both étude and compostage form a single lexical item in this notarial context. Why? Because while I could find almost no evidence of compostage in any non-humus-related sense online, the tokens I did see co-occurred with étude. The phrase is mysterious. That there are so few examples of its use to be found is very puzzling.
Example sentence:

Peer comment(s):

neutral Emmanuella : Il s'agit du Cabinet. Étude 80xxx dans le département (80). Étude 62xxx dans le département ( 62).

neutral AllegroTrans : I rather think Emmanuella is correct here

Chambers; Practice

Chambers of a single Notary, rather than a Regional Chamber of Notaries.

Also, Practice of a Notary rather than Notarial Practice that is ambiguous for the office or the performance of notariial functions.
Example sentence:

2004 Rules on Notarial Practice.

The majority of Notaries Public also practise as solicitors but the Scrivener Notaries do not,.

Note from asker:
Yes that's it ! I have checked with them ! I do check the glossary but I guess am not very good at it because I don't often come up with results.
Thanks Phil

Yes, thanks. Just a matter of time before Adrian explains that the previous answers were all wrong...
agree Adrian MM. : I doubt it. NB this headliner: 'A moderator has posted a message for you concerning your use of this area of the site: Please refrain from making non-linguistic and/or personal comments about your peers. Please review site rules.'

agree Andrew Bramhall : Phil, I have the same comment on every page. All stemming from spats with AMM about 18 months ago. His tendency to post snide comments has probably caught up with him. I then asked for a mutual ban to be imposed with him, since then, no problems.

I have no clue, but it sounds like he's been told off. And he's taken Allegro's 'practice' and posted it as an answer..
