Campus (flat land, field)
campus (n.)
"college grounds," 1774, from Latin campus "flat land, field," from Proto-Italic *kampo- "field," a word of uncertain origin. De Vaan finds cognates in Greek kampe "a bending, bow, curvature;" Lithuanian kampas "corner," kumpti "to bend," kumpas "curved;" Gothic hamfs "mutilated, lame," Old High German hamf, and concludes the source "could well be a European substratum word from agricultural terminology." First used in college sense at Princeton.

Henceforth, a field goal shall be called “Goal splitter”. A field mouse shall be known as a “grassy terrain mouse”.

Happy i am at this point in my life…….This Country is fricked

Here’s the thing. The people spouting this nonsense, coming up with these ideas, and drafting these insane memos don’t even believe this stuff.
It’s a grift. That’s all it is. Nobody sane has ever been offended by the word “field”.
These people are collecting a check to do mental gymnastics and point out imaginary problems.

But the root of "practicum" is Latin, spoken by the Romans, who were enslavers, therefore, racist
But the Romans didn't enslave people based on race. They just enslaved some of the people thy conquered.

Is any other country in the world going through this, or is it just the USA? This shite is insane...

Concerning the USC baseball team, I hear their center
practicumer is pretty fast.
I believe their whole inpracticum is also pretty good, especially the shortstop (or is it called the length challenged stop?)

This is just another example that it is impossible to not offend people who spend every waking moment of their lives looking for things to be offended by.

I think Europe was similar years ago. Correct me if I'm wrong.

As if we didn't already have enough reasons to detest USC...

The word racist no longer has any meaning.

BREAKING: The only people in recorded human history to ever work in a field farming or harvesting crops are black slaves (don't tell Midwestern farmers).
