Nov 25, 2012 at 16:19 comment added Jérémy Blanc Thanks! Sorry for my ignorance about characteristic $p$. I still don't get why EGA talks about all alg. closed fields if only one is enough. In Altman/Kleiman "Introduction to Grothendieck Duality Theory" Prop. 5.2, they also make many equivalence definitions of radicial and always include to check all fields. Seems weird not to say that one can only check on one algebraically closed field.
Nov 25, 2012 at 16:12 comment added Damian Rössler (answer to your comment below) $x\to x^p$ is not étale: it would then be smooth and then its differential would be non vanishing but in fact $d(x^p)=p\cdot x^{p-1}dx=0$ because $p=0$. Apart from that, you are right about EGA: it talks about every alg. closed field, not just one so it is weaker than Angelo's statement. I removed my comment.
