I don't think there is any point in correcting ACK. I doubt he will listen.
So lets just leave things as they are...ACK can call it Texture Work, and the rest of the world can call it skinning.

While we're on the topic of the subtle nuances of internet lingo, and since skinning/skin/skinner is an inappropriate term, here are some other words/phrases that should be banned:
lol
rofl [or any variants of this, like roflao]
brb
ttyl
cyaz
plz
Any word that uses numbers to replace syllables or letters, such as "4M" or "L33T"
n00b or noob, the correct term should be "newcomer to the game/map/mod/whatever"
If I missed anything, please post it, as this thread really isn't about anyone wanting to SKIN!!! anyone's models.

Y0u f0rg07 1337! Also abotu n00bs " What is a n00b (not noob)? The definition we're using on this site is a player who may or may not be new to a game, but insists on doing brainless things, especially things that hinder the team. Those who are defined by this site as "n00bs" will also refuse to listen to words of wisdom or, even worse, berate those who try to help.
n00bstories.com is your home for stories and tales of those who do stupid things in online games. It's also a place to vent your frustrations for those who don't play as a team and those who are a detriment to teamplay. The migration of gaming to Internet play has introduced a whole new breed of idiots for us to deal with.
We at n00bstories.com do understand that everyone was a newbie once, and those who are polite, those who go through whatever practice is supplied, and those who read a few forum threads before posting their question are NOT the target of this site. We applaud and respect you." (From n00bstories)
N00bs are not newcomers to a game just stupid people who try to mess up games by not following the rules, cheating and such.

I still find it a term that seems to undervalue the importance of texture work.
I've seen Japanese companies that misspell English all the time, but that doesn't make "Engrish" correct.

Oh but it does, when "Donkey Kong" was released in the states it was misstranslated. The original name was "Monkey Kong." This is a perfect example of something misspelled, but it works out in the end. This skin and texture thing is becoming petty now. It only seems that it is brought up by someone who wants attention. Help AAK625 out here, this thread was not made for you guys to argue your damn vocabulary. Here in the interent world skin and texture are virtual the same thing. We are not going to write a doctorial thesis about them, so just fucking stop with it.
Oh hell lets have fun with this. Here are two words that a the same thing.
Main Entry: wind·screen
Pronunciation: 'win(d)-"skrEn
Function: noun
1 : a screen that protects against the wind
Main Entry: wind·shield
Pronunciation: 'win(d)-"shEld
Function: noun
: a transparent screen (as of glass) in front of the occupants of a vehicle
Now one is British and one is "American," if you will. Now, are you going to tell me you are going to correct ever British person, or American, that uses one of these terms? The answer is no. These definitions are distinctly different, but you know what? They are the fuckin same thing.

Why is a textured that is aplyed to a character, or vehicle called a skin?
Hmm, well lets look at the actual texture, it looks like it has been cut off the character, and streached out. What was that term Ack used? Skinning is removeing the skin of an animal, I think it was? Now normaly you don't remove a texture or "skin" from a character, you put it on. You put the skin onto the character, or "skinning!" So basicly we have two types of skinning. The phisical skinning, where you cut the skin off an animal, and the electronic version where you put a skin onto a character. Same word, same thing, just one is backwords from the other, and useing diffrent tools. Now, what do we call someone who skins animals? We call them skinner, (or taxidermist/hunter/butcher but those don't count right now  )
Why woudln't we call someone who is putting a skin onto something a skinner as well?
