Jan 23, 2010 at 22:03 comment added Anweshi @Pete: It will be more helpful with an explicit example.
Jan 23, 2010 at 22:01 comment added Pete L. Clark @KB: Thanks, you're absolutely right. I was answering quickly, and the picture in my mind was that the map would still be ramified but for the reason that the fiber was a purely inseparable field extension. But this makes no sense, because if $k$ is perfect there are no purely inseparable field extensions.
