Jun 17, 2013 10:36: Carol Gullidge changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Graham Allen-Rawlings, Neil Ashby, Carol Gullidge

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.

If you make ten purchases, the next one will be free

Hope that this helps.

Or "after ten purchases, the next one's free" is a more colloquial version.

Buy 10, get the 11th for free

After ten orders, your next one is free

As we're talking about a takeaway restaurant, I'd go for orders rather than the common 'buy ten, get one free' kind of formulation.

For every ten purchases, you get one free!

11 for the price of 10!

You could turn it round, especially if it's for a headline or banner.
