This thread gives a brief explanation of the origin of the word “skeuomorph,” which I hadn’t read before despite having read plenty about skeuomorphic design. Cool!

Tanya McCullough’s replies to this thread are also great. I think that identifying the different ways that skeuomorphism is used, as she does, could lead to much more thoughtful and helpful conversations about skeuomorphism.
