Actually, "skin" and "texture" are two different things. A skin is something that changes the look of an entire program (think of winamp or windows media player skins).

"Skin" is used VERY commonly in place of "texture" though, and not just on these forums. And words are defined through common usage -- if a word is used enough with a new meaning, it will eventually acquire that meaning. That's why dictionaries are revised so often.

Personally, I figure it shouldn't matter if someone says "skin" instead of "texture" because everyone knows what it means. But the two words don't technically mean the same thing. (At least, not yet...) So ACK *IS* right when he corrects people. Still, ACK makes so many mistakes in his own writing that it's pretty stupid for him to be correcting other people. (And the only reason I mention him specifically is that I don't think anyone else actually bothers to correct people when they use the term "skin" incorrectly.)
