Sheila Wilson Spain @ Joelle 21:30 Dec 15, 2009  It's placement --> trainee Joelle Glore (X) France Intern? 21:22 Dec 15, 2009  Ok for internship vs work placement. But how do you say "intern" in UK Eng? philgoddard United States 18:26 Dec 15, 2009  To me, intern still has a slightly American ring to it when used in UK English. It's a relatively recent import, perhaps helped along by Monica Lewinsky. Sheila Wilson Spain @ Karen - from your link: 18:16 Dec 15, 2009  "By the end of the placements, interns discover a great deal about the role of the Civil Service" - they seem a bit confused! I agree with Gilla's comment. Evans (X) internship 17:38 Dec 15, 2009  in UK English is used more specifically in government and civil service positions, and less so in industry and commerce as a whole. Karen Stokes United Kingdom Not necessarily 17:36 Dec 15, 2009  See e.g. http://www.civilservice.gov.uk/jobs/entry/diversity/index.as... and lots of other UK sites for use of 'internship' in British English. Chris Hall Note to Asker... 17:29 Dec 15, 2009  Work placement = UK English. Internship = US English. Automatic update in 00:
