Time for my cheap argument trick. Dig out Mr. Dictionary (Merriam-Webster's Collegiate, 10th ed, for those keeping score). All rightie, looks like we got 6 defs here, and I don't feel like typing them all, so I'll grab the first, and then one or two of the most topical. 1) skill acquired by experience, study, or observation 3) an occupation requiring knowledge or skill 4a) the conscious use of skill and creative imagination esp. in the production of aesthetic objects; also: works so produced. OK, creative will probably be another sticking point, so let's go look that one up. First 2 defs (of 4, last two dealing with deceptive practices) 1) marked by the ability or power to create: given to creating. 2) having the quality of something created rather than imitated. Discuss amongst yourselves. I'm gonna go make something.
