pro
The word "pro" is most commonly used as a casual shortening of "professional." While it is widely accepted in conversation, you should use the full word "professional" in formal writing or academic essays. When referring to arguments for and against something, "pro" is almost always paired with its opposite, "con," in the phrase "pros and cons." As an adjective (e.g., "that looks very pro"), the word is more informal and describes a high quality of work rather than a person's employment status.
