Now think about the hundreds of times you have used the word incorrectly. Also think about how cool it would be if amateurs got scrip in the form of a small bag or pouch. I have one more definition for you, and this one pertains to your topic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
am·a·teur
/ˈamətər/
Noun
A person who engages in a pursuit, esp. a sport, on an unpaid basis.
Adjective
Engaging or engaged in without payment; nonprofessional.
Synonyms
noun. dilettante - dabbler - lover - fancier
adjective. amateurish - dilettante

BTW, there are 140 threads on this site that that also use the word incorrectly.
Thank you Dan! It's terrible when people loose the ability to spell!*




Script is my biggest disc golf spelling/usage pet peeve, and the epidemic of people losing the ability to spell lose correctly is my biggest general spelling pet peeve.

There is always time for good grammar!
