stagiaire[edit]

I think this is French. The English is stagiary according to the OED. (Needs formatting properly) SemperBlotto 07:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

I added the French, never heard of it in English. We usually say trainee or intern if it’s a noun, or probationary if an adjective. —Stephen 15:18, 27 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
It seems like the word is used quite some times in English too, probably just directly stolen from French. To give some examples, [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]. --Eivind (t) 16:18, 27 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

It seems that the Council of the Inner Temple in advertising training posts with, for example, the European Commission, the United Nations,etc use the "french" spelling, without, however, italicising as they would for Latin or other foreign words. I was unable to find any recent use of "stagiary" in this sense, whilst all the post-graduates I spoke to recognised "staadj-ee-air" but not "stagg-ee-airy". — This unsigned comment was added by 217.155.198.152 (talk) at 10:47, 5 August 2008 (UTC).Reply

Removing, no citations given and examples shown are italicized as though it were a foreign language word. Stagiary is able to be cited if someone cares to. - [The]DaveRoss 00:15, 2 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
