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.

"Split" in this sense is US slang for "leave". This whole show is full of corny dated US slang terms.

...and "on the stroke" is a truncated version of "on the stroke of four", meaning as soon as the clock strikes four and not a minute later.

: Yes. I hear printerS split. Either way "on the stroke" = on the dot or exactly at that time

I couldn't decide if it was "printers split" (which if true can be either past tense or habitual present) or "printer split". First I heard "printers", then I changed my answer to "printer". Not easy.
