I think everyone is missing 1 important point.... It's not a dilemma.
A dilemma is 2 choices both leading to  a bad outcome.

Yeah, welcome to human language use where 'can' is often used instead of 'may' and the words 'amateur' and 'professional' are used to imply quality, while those two words have nothing to do with quality at all.

Feel free to add more examples :)


A lot of the misuse of English I don't mind. The only 2 that annoy me are Dilemma when there is no di or lemma.

The other is 'could care less'.
