Entre los tres autores

Non-PRO Spanish to English Social Sciences History
"Como se trata de una diferencia básica y entre los tres autores, se pide un claro posicionamiento personal en el debate".
Between the three authors (rather than among...).
Is this right?

Jun 13, 2013 13:03: James A. Walsh changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (2): David Ronder, JohnMcDove

Non-PRO (3): Simon Bruni, Carol Gullidge, James A. Walsh

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.

David Ronder Jun 13, 2013:
Yes - - or why people should only translate into their first language. I only brought the native-speaker question up because it has a bearing on whether this is a pro or non-pro question.
Simon Bruni Jun 13, 2013:
Maybe you're right I guess that's why most people translate into their first language.
David Ronder Jun 13, 2013:
I also beg to differ because it's not so simple, particularly for a non-native speaker. The old rule was between two, among many, but that has been eroded and it was always more complicated than that. This is a good summary:

I agree the answer here is "between the three authors", but not that it is a matter of basic English or something that a non-native speaker could easily work out.
Simon Bruni Jun 13, 2013:
I beg to differ.
broca (asker) Jun 13, 2013:
Thank you, Simon. Basic for native speakers of the language, I'm afraid.
Simon Bruni Jun 13, 2013:
Difference between the three authors. Basic English.
