Mine is art. I am great at wildlife art. I use colored pencils, oils, watercolors, and pastels. So, what is your talent?

History and some Sciences.

I can do good technical drawings back a few years ago but not sure about now.

Some good tech knowledge/experience.

Mine are similar to yours, but I paint and draw landscapes and portraits. I'm also a photographer and a graphic designer (high-end automotive ads for print and web). I would like to think my 'greatest' talent is writing stories, but since I'm still trying to get published (for real, not with a POD or vanity publisher), that's debateable.

I used to draw and do colored pencils, but it became to tedious to me, to much like work. But I'd do animals, monsters, robots, futuristic vehicles, and humans/superheros.

I don't draw or color anymore, I'll sketch every once in a while, though rarely.

Computers. Anything and everything to do with them. Hardware, software, doesn't matter. In particular, making them work better.

I can pick up a programming language I've never seen before well enough to modify it successfully in under an hour, and have done so many times. I can sit down in front of an unfamiliar machine or software package and work out things with it that users with years of experience never figure out how to do. And I can't explain how I know what to do, it just... comes to me.

I'm pretty much a savant that way, though. Not much else I'm good at, other than singing (which I'm too shy to do in front of anyone else) and cooking.

a verb that is?????

grammatically: noun, derived from verb 'to mediocre'
logical function: agent of the verb

now is this verb transitive, i.e. is there something such as a mediocritee?

synonym: to mediocritize

my talent lies linguistically luring & well hidden away betwixt bushes&weeds
languishing for lighning to strike and inspire me, to give me my mead

Music. And art, but as a teen I pretty much abandoned art for music and never looked back.
