Is it our internal purpose or an outside influence that is determining this? Are we sure or confused in our final decision?

What this prefix means is that the ability in question is one which modifies or acts upon other abilities in general. Thus, while the car-fixing skill is one which acts on cars, the skill-teaching metaskill is one which acts on skills: with "skill-teaching", you take any... Read Full Story
