使い方のコツ
Note the difference between "professional" (a noun for a skilled worker, e.g. "consult a professional") and the adjective form used for skilled, work-appropriate behavior (e.g. "professional advice," "professional development"). There is also an adverb form, "professionally," used to describe how something is done (e.g. "act professionally"). Be careful with the spelling — it has one "f" and a double "s" (p-r-o-f-e-s-s-i-o-n-a-l), not a double "f" like in "offer" or "different."
