I am indeed an amateur.

Problem here is that people have redefined for themselves what the word means.

"Amateur" -- From the French, meaning literally "love of the craft".

"Professional" -- From Latin and possibly Greek roots, one meaning of which is merely someone who got paid to do the job over a period of time.

For my trety on the subject, taken from an Audiominds post and into posterity by another member, visit the link below and read the rant.
