Dilettante

it. - a person who cultivates an area of interest, such as the arts or literature, without real commitment or knowledge.


edit: there's nothing wrong with being a dilettante (unless you're ignorant about it). This is just a definition of a new word I found and thought I would write it down.

Dilettantes are not ignoramuses. They are interested in a field without being experts in that field, and they [u]know[/u] they are not experts. Whereas ignorant persons think they know it all. It's their ignorance that makes them think they are experts.

@helenS I didn't say they're ignorant. This is just a definition

@Melpomene Yes I know you did not say that.
