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.

Selected

map of the world (in two hemispheres), mappemonde

Mappemonde is often used in reference to a rectangular map of the world, but strictly speaking it is a representation of the world in two hemispheres.

'Mappemonde' is in the SOED, defined as "Now only Hist. ... The map of the world; in early use, the world itself".

--------------------------------------------------

Note also the Lexis definition of mappemonde: 1. Carte représentant le globe terrestre divisé en deux hémisphères [ ...] 3. Globe représentant la sphère terrestre.

So it could also be a 'globe', except as defined in your question.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Daryo : AFAIK "map of the world in two hemispheres" as a type of maps is nowadays completely outdated - gone out of fashion. It would apply to old maps. Some more context is needed.

Mappemonde is equally outdated, though used mistakenly or in jest today.

A World Map

Je pense que c'est l'équivalent en anglais

disagree Daryo : too vague // "mappemonde" is used for an historical "old style" type of maps with the whole Earth shown inside two circles // nowadays other types of "projections" are used: Mercator / Peter / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-area_projection etc ...
