What is the logic behind the KudoZ categories?

0

KudoZ questions can be categorized using a field list with about 100 entries. The list, which was created statistically from subject areas entered in free text by ProZ.com users, is somewhat fuzzy on purpose. For example, because one member might think “auto” while another thinks “cars”, both category names are made available in the list. Note that although “twin” categories such as these appear separately in the list of fields, they get entered into the database in the same way. So it does not matter which you select–just pick the first category that fits your term. A tip: in most browsers, once you are in the select list, you can simply hit the letter of the category you have in mind (“c” for “cars”) until you get the category you want.
