Adjectivize the no-adjective skill level
« on: June 25, 2009, 05:24:45 pm »
EDIT: this is clearly in the wrong forum. You should check out this thread instead.

Right now the skill levels go:

Dabbling
Novice
<nothing>
Competent
Skilled
...

The level after Novice is annoying to talk about and potentially confusing for newbies. I suggest changing Novice to Apprentice and making the no-label level Novice, so it'd look like this:

Dabbling
Apprentice
Novice
Competent
Skilled
...

Thus there's an adjective for every level, and the relative lack of ability inherent in that level of skill is properly conveyed.

I think "Journeyman" would be more accurate. Might be a more modern word than desired, though.

110% support (but you ~should~ move this to the suggestion thread).

(As the OP, you can lock it - just modify the first post, and use the "additional options" option.)
