thread_title:  Wrong Information 

message: "Stint" is often used on Wikipedia to refer to an athlete's time with a team and subsequent return to that team.  It's not standardized language, and (while not wrong) there are better words to use. "Return" is one.  "Return" is more modern, more common, more well known. "Return" is more appropriate and should be used rather than "stint".
Another alternative is that one could replace the word "stint" with the word "time" in most sentences, keep the same significance to the sentence, and have a slightly more accurate word.
:[| stint Etymology Dictionary] 
Another suggestion is "spell".
"Time" and "return" seem more common than "stint". "Time" seems distinct and simple, too.
Discussion questions, comments, criticism are appreciated.  Additional comments are found here.
