Merriam-Webster Dictionary: Jun 26, 2023

"Use of the word powwow to refer generally to a social get-together or to a meeting for discussion is considered to be an offensive appropriation of a term of great cultural importance to Indigenous Americans."

For the record, I don't consider Merriam-Webster to be a good online dictionary.

Fanglin: It'll be great to meet you on Saturday. We always welcome new attendeesicon_smile.gif

finnword1: I'm with you on that, I'd never choose to use the word powwow myself. You'd have to take that up directly with Proz, alas.
