But I _despise_ the title "semi-professional" We have a faculty member that used to give grades A, B, C, D, and F, which are traditional and understood. But he would augment them with +/- signs, and expect the rest of the faculty to understand what a C--- means, and how that compares to a C--, and a C- and a C, and a C++, and you-name it. The more complicated the distinctions between various titles, the more dissatisfied the competitors will be about how they are categorized. I like the KISS principle here and would prefer that myself...
