Apr 23, 2017 at 13:46 comment added nfdc23 If $k\ne \overline{k}$ then this recipe to make an etale map to an affine space Zariski-locally around each closed point wouldn't work at closed points whose residue field is not separable over $k$ (e.g., if $p={\rm{char}}(k)>0$ and $C={\rm{Spec}}(k[t])$ then for $a\in k -k^p$ and $P=\{t^p=a\}$, a $k(P)$-basis of $m_P/m_P^2$ is given by $\{t^p-a\}$, for which the associated $k$-map $C\to\mathbf{A}^1_k$ is not etale at $P$). So it is more "relative" to use $f_1,\dots,f_n\in O_X(U)$ for which $\{df_1,\dots,df_n\}$ is a frame of the vector bundle $\Omega^1_{U/k}$, as exist for $U$'s covering $X$.
