I have a question
|
Lately, I read in a passage the phrase " seasoned journalists" . After a while , I knew that it means experienced journalists . I want your explanations if they are different from the conclusion I reached. I also need to know if I can use the word " seasoned " meaning " experienced" with other professions like teachers for example.
Thank you

There is also the more general expression "seasoned professional", and it could be used with specific professions, but it isn �t common. It wouldn �t sound strange, though. Bruce |
