Terminology
I've edited this article, rather inelegantly I admit, to try to make clear that "groundskeeper" is barely used in British English, and also that "groundsman" (by far the more commonly used term here) is most certainly not confined to golf courses where sport is concerned - football, cricket, rugby etc venues all have them:
There's also the distinctively Australian usage of "curator" to mean a groundsman, especially in sports such as cricket, which I've mentioned in the article but couldn't find a way to set up a useful Google search for. The article could certainly do with a section dealing specifically with groundsmen/women in sport, but I'm not sure how to write it. Loganberry (Talk) 00:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
