My rant for the day...but back to the subject, if one ascribes to
professionalism, one must carefully weigh each and every word.

In that case, please note that you meant "aspires", not "ascribes". :-)

Not to mention "visibility" instead of "visability" and "take off" instead
of "takeoff".

What is the old bit? Those in glass houses?

Without BOb around, seems like nobody regularly points out things, like he
so loved to do. He stomped me pretty good, a few times, (in an amusing sort
of way, *kinda* g) and while I still make mistakes, (fewer, I think) I am
very hesitant to point out others, else get the treatment you just tossed
out!

Where is the ole' goat, anyway?

No.

Those in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

I'm cool with "ascribes" in this case. Had to look at it a number of times
to
see if it fit. Yes, I think it fits.

www.dictionary.com (ascribe)
2. To assign as a quality or characteristic: "was quick to ascribe jealousy
to her critics."

I also think "aspires" takes the original thought in a different direction -
one of yearning to someday become professional, as opposed to announcing
you're already there.

With ascribed, you've assigned yourself that quality - professionalism.
You're signed up. You're a subscriber to the requirements it takes to be, or
appear to be, professional.

No, not as Bob put it; look again. It would be proper to speak of ascribing
professionalism to oneself. But that's not what Bob said. He spoke instead
of "ascribing to professionalism". That makes no sense. (Ascribing *what* to
professionalism?) In contrast, "If one *aspires* to X, one must do Y" is a
standard formulation.
