Wes:

You are technically correct about the cement/concrete names, but I believe
you will find the previously incorrect "cement" usage for concrete is now
accepted because it has become the norm. Like the long term result of the
incorrect use of "dumb". It is rarely used correctly these days.

And, placing is certainly correct for flatwork, but I've never heard of a
"continuous place" for large continuous pours like major buildings and other
structures. How many times did I hear that during the post-mortems of the
WTC construction, for example?

Sorry George, I can't help myself.g

"Cement" is the stuff that holds the aggregate in "concrete" together
and concrete is "placed," not "poured".
