[Governor Dinwiddie]

article "as in ‘conducting field work’"

Might as well remove the word work while they're at it. That's a "White thang".

[Vigilanteman]

Practicum Trips?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It all makes perfect sense when you learn they all have single-cell brains.

[LegendHasIt]

I really need to go out and mow the weeds out in my practicum.

[Billthedrill]

USC needs to remove “learning” from their description of “higher learning”

"Higher" is offensive to short people. It implies that only tall people can learn.

[libertylover]

I guess there are no bounds on stupidity.

How is the word field derived from the Latin word ager? The word agriculture, yes, but I don’t see how field comes from ager.

BTW -
“ The origin of the term ‘field day’ comes from the military and refers to maneuvers that took place in a field, but by the 1800s, the phrase was used to refer to any event that happened in a field, ranging from a hunt to a dance to a picnic to a scientific expedition.”

watching that last USC football game they definitly need more practicum before going on the field.

Side bar. The legendary USC coach John MacKay was asked after a game: What do you think of your offenses execution

MacKay: I think it’s a good idea.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Have they got to “grunt work” yet?

[scrabblehack]

practicum is Latin
field is Germanic

[Scrambler Bob]

Practicum

Has 3 syllables.

Supremacist language at its best.

[Scrambler Bob]

Field.

A multi-use word.

I field her up.

[SuperLuminal]

Sure glad I retired in 1986...
Physicists will soon not be able to state that they are working in that, apparently racist, field-theory-related aspect of fundamental physics...

[ConservativeStatement]

The Bears football team are likely to be relocating to Arlington. Otherwise, Lightfoot would have a big decision to make about Soldiers Field.

[wildbill]

I wonder how many “underserved educationally” brown or black people have a familiarity with a Latin word like “practicum”

[ladyjane]

So how did the word field come from Latin if it’s really from the German word.

I’m not trying to be difficult, I am interested in how the word field came from the word ager.

[MrChips]

People choose to go to USC over UCLA because it is easier to spell.

[scrabblehack]

It doesn’t.
Practicum is the $5 Latin word.
Field is the 50 cent Germanic word.

I have my estimates and invoices divided into field work and office work.

I guess it will be simple enough to have WORD replace “field” with “practicum”.

Of course it will take a couple of paragraphs to explain it.

I suppose that “office work” is racist as well? Too white?? (White collar...)

[21twelve]

*** How about “community work” ***

Too much like community service which implies a run-in with the law, which is racist.
