Found this interesting. Tiger McKee is someone I pay attention to, along with Massad Ayoob and others.

I cannot stand the phrase “skill set.” It drives me mad. It's a weak attempt to project more intelligence than the user actually has. The single word “skills” is more efficient, and conveys the exact same meaning. Why muck up the language by ladling on extra words that add nothing? We've gone from “Brevity is the soul of wit” to “Using the skill set of vocabulary can and does shift the paradigm to another level whereby a mode consistent with the basic modality of a thought is more readily communicated.” Sheesh!

Am I the only who reads Tiger’s stuff while mimicking his drawl in my head?

I just happened to “practice” yesterday.
Took the three new conversion barrels in 9mm, .357sig and 10mm to the range with great “point-blank” success Massad would even approve. Range report pending.
