Why is it so?
It appears to me that the vast majority of us (and I'm one of them) refer to themselves as "amateur astronomers." I know I do.
Perversely though, bird watchers (and I'm one of them too) don't refer to themselves as "amateur ornithologists" despite the fact that most bird watchers have an extensive knowledge of and experience with their intended quarry.
Thoughts, anyone?
