This seems pretty nit picky.. I still don't see why you hate it.. its not like you dont understand the meaning.. and its not like people are saying Pro instead of Professional out loud. Why beat so hateful?

Your definition of professional doesn't make sense since excellence is a "Commitment to Completion"

So Jangbi is someone who achieved a commitment to completion?

I just hate it when people say, "we have a couple of pro-games today", in reference to SC2.

The people aren't "pros". Yet.

But otherwise, I really have no problem with this.

Really? Are you sure? There's plenty of people who make a living playing SC2. That makes them professionals.

Now I'm saying that sentence out loud repeatedly.

Btw, "pro" has legitimate noun and adjective definitions that fit how members of our community use the word.

Im sick and tired of people abbreviating words that aren't meant to be abbreviated. It's "professional" ! When I see people type "pro" I always sit there drumming my fingers expecting them to finish the word, as "pro" represents the prefix meaning for.

It's blatantly obvious if all you do is look at the definitions of the words.
A professional athlete is an athlete who reached excellence in his field, and is paid to do so.

A pro athlete is something that is done for athletes. A pronoun isn't an extremely high skill noun, is it? A program isn't a gram that gets paid to have mass is?

KeSPA is, by definition, "pro-gamer." However, Jaedong is a professional gamer.

For the love of Buddha, don't be lazy and type out the full word. It's only a few extra letters and you save my sanity and your dignity. It blows my mind how people can't even learn the English language properly when it's their first language.


ever heard of slang? new worlds develop and some words develop new meanings

you can't stop it, no use fighting it because you'll go crazy over it

if it makes sense, let it be

is it logically possible for "pro" to also mean "professional"? yes, so why object? this has been around for a long time now, you're a bit late if you wanted to stop it

You have to remember that:
1. People are much more willing to assume someone is stupid rather than joking.
2. People don't read threads before posting.
3. A lot of things are funnier in your head than when others read it.
No I'm never serious.

Also I've completely forgotten about the other thread, and this isn't good enough to stand on its own (debatable if it's good enough even considering the other thread)

Maybe he just did too good of a job sounding indignantly ridiculous.
