trabajo sobre el terreno o "trabajo de campo"


Explanation:
Could someone from Spanish America comment on my comment? (In Spain, there is now as much of a tendency to use -- and misuse -- terms deriving from American English. Spanish Americans have been doing the same for nearly a half a century ...... but "con concimiento de causa", as they are much more familiar with North American English usage than are Spaniards.)

Sorry, my comment was intended for English-to-Spanish translations. To the verage spaniard, educated ones included, \"trabajo de campo\" means farm work.
