Perhaps better suited to its own thread, but...
While looking for a web reference to amateur vs professional (I always recall the basic difference defined as "pay")...
I stumbled upon a term I had not heard before:
Amateur professionalismQuote:
"people pursuing amateur activities to professional standards"
I find that an interesting concept.
Here's a different spin on amateur vs professional as well.
