The trouble with "trader" is that it usually means something else, namely someone who trades. A tradesperson doesn't trade; they practise a trade (= craft/profession).
- michaelt 2y agoVisit a UK builders' merchant or DIY store and they'll offer a 'trade account' with a 'trade discount' and 'trade deals' - they'll even sell you 'trade paint' Ambiguous on a global scale? Maybe. Ambiguous when you're standing in a builders' merchant? Absolutely not.
