Thank you for your suggestions.

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.

: Way too general: a 'loaf of bread' is a 'pain' or a 'miche de pain', this is something much more specific.

: I am not agreeing because there are some more accurate answers, but I get why you put this, i.e. we say "loaf cake" to define a rectangular cake, but its not the case with bread now considering the variety around.

tin loaf
| agree |
Tony M
: Rowsie confirms this may be any kind of 'tin loaf', not just the literally 'square' (all round) ones I'd imagined.

: For the UK, as Rachel says, but never for the U.S. or Canada. I truly wouldn't understand this term if I were to encounter it.
