Romanian term or phrase: bun simt
Vreau sa spun ca anumite detalii pe care le corectez trebuie sa se incadreze in bunul meu simt profesional. Este oare "common sense" raspunsul? Pentru ca nu e asa "common", e vorba de pricepere profesionala.

English translation:professional acumen
Explanation:
Încă o sugestie. Cred că aici bun simţ înseamnă percepţie, acuitate, înţelegere bazate pe experienţă şi cunoştinţe specializate. Sintagma "professional acumen" e frecventă şi redă acest sens.

Webster defines the word acumen as "keenness and depth of perception, discernment, or discrimination especially in practical matters." (Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition)

True professional acumen can only be achieved through the constant pursuit of knowledge and skills.
