GG no re

Pshh... Oxford? Encyclopedia Britannica? Merriam-webster? Those insignificant organizations have nothing against our dear Opsayo.

p.s. because i've never said britannica out loud or and been corrected, i've been pronouncing it briticana (in my head) my entire life UNTIL NOW!

Pro golfer (or golf pro, or pro shop) is a common term. If it's ok in golf it's ok in esports.

It's fine. You're pro? Means it's your profession. Your job. You make your living off of it.

I got beef with the kids who say "pro room" when they're playing dota, and I know there isn't a single sponsored dota team in Korea.

pro/professional also counts as an adjective of skill ranking but is on the level of a professional of course. Not just it being a job.

The National Association of Abbreviated Words and Acronyms(NAAWA) is gearing up a lawsuit in face of your insulting post about one of our shining members, "pro."

There is, in fact, a way of saying that one's skill level is at a professional level, even if the person in question is not a professional. You can say "he plays at the professional skill level." See? Easy.

Word abbreviations are a part of every language. 'Pro' is actually an extremely common abbreviation especially in a sports context.

You know what's more annoying than Grammar Nazis? Grammar Nazis who are WRONG.

The OP's link post to that other blog would make it seem that way. But everything else, including the endless refutations makes it impossible to know. Way to subtle if he was being ironic.
