What's it called when a baby is born backwards?
It is called breech. There are 2 different breech positions. One is: Frank breech- which is when BOTH of the babies legs are up against his body, although the knees are bent (baby is curled up). Second is: Footling breech - which is when one or both of the legs are out stretched.I personally have had one of each, neither was delivered c-section. My oldest (frank-breech) weighed only 7# 2 oz. But the other (footling) weighed 9# 3 oz. !!! OUCH!!! My labor was too fast for a c-section. They were both too far down into the birth canal. Why do you ask?
What's a word for a skill one is born with?
A Talent (or gift, or aptitude) is the skill that someone naturally has to do something that is hard. It is an ability that someone is born with. People say they are "born with a talent". It is a high degree of ability or of aptitude. Someone who has talent is able to do something without trying as hard as someone who does not have a talent. Someone who has talent is called talented. Talented people as rule have many talents, for music, dancing, acting, sports, or other skills, but often only in single direction or genre, unlike genius.https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talent
Which one is correct? born in ..... or born on .....?
For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avqDNBC ended when AD began. I think they call it the common era, before that the Christian era. Whatever. The allegation is that AD began when Christ was born. However as other posters have remarked, Jesus Christ is supposed to have been born between 4 and 6 BC. Others say a few years after. However, the explanation for the 4 to six year gap is irrelevant at this point. They didn't even know when Christ was born, so they picked a few days after the beginning of Winter. Bottom line is, don't sweat it.
What's a word or idiom for a person pretending to be what he's not?
Justin gave you idiomatic expressions, all of them excellent. I’ll just give you some words (besides “wannabe,” given elsewhere):dissimulatordissemblercharlatanfraudmountebankimpostorimitatormimicpretender (implicit in your answer)All of these words describe persons who are pretending to be someone or something they are not. Dissimulation involves the disguising of one’s inner state, motives, or true feelings; it’s a good word for Iago. Charlatan, fraud, and mountebank all refer to persons who feign skills or abilities or learning or attributes or fortunes or powers they do not possess in order to derive some gain from others under false pretenses. An impostor is someone who pretends to be someone else and occupies that person’s lifeworld — as seen, e.g., in The Return of Martin Guerre. An imitator or a mimic is someone who tries to dress himself in the native hues of another person or thing (this is benign when speaking of “mimes,” unflattering when speaking of artists, creepy in grade-C horror flicks with Mira Sorvino). A pretender is a false claimant to a title; one sees this term often in connection with claimants to royal power, the “pretender to the throne.” (Of course, a “pretender” can simply be someone who maintains some degree of pretense.)There are remoter terms for rarer phenomena, e.g., body doubles and the like: a doppelgänger is an especially creepy phenomenon when the double acts as an impostor. But kings and other powerful persons have also had persons employed, in battle and otherwise, to serve in loco regis. The Japanese term kagemusha (影武者, lit. “shadow warrior”) connotes just such a political decoy.
What's the difference between competency and a skill?
Skills are the practical or cognitive things you can do. Competence is the proven use of skills, knowledge, and abilities to accomplish something.This concept map is part of my more detailed essay on skills and competences on Medium, which discusses the background, and how skills have been viewed in history, in the US, and the EU: Focus on Skill Mastery, not Knowledge Acquisition
What is it called when somebody is born with a disease?
The evidence is that 99.9999999999% of gay people say so. Just like 99.999999999999% of straight people say they knew they were born straight. No there is no gay gene which has been found. No-one knows why some people are born gay. No-one knows why someone is born of tuneless parents and has perfect pitch, why someone is born dyslexic with two parents who aren't. Sexuality is not something you ask for proof of. If gay people say they were born gay they should know and there is no better form of evidence than this. I am sure you would feel quite indignant if you are heterosexual and someone decided they did not believe you were naturally but had decided to be and were actually gay. You know what your sexuality is and no-one else does. 'About who say that "being gay =/= gay gene".. if that is right, then we all should be gays.' How do you work that out? There's no gene for being straight either and we are not all straight, now are we?

Characteristic in personalities are learn in early childhood, and there is a genetic predisposition to how well and how rooted this characteristic stay with you as you grow, you can look more searching for epigenetics.And yes you can also develop or be less attached to a characteristic you would like to have/dislike, books help but just a little, i mean, you can look up any source of info you dispose but that’s just raw knowledgement, implementation of that knowledgement and adaptation to your personal lifestyle is the hard part, it can be done but requires a good amount of effort, things like meditation or putting yourself in situation you can test those traits you want is what makes you learn them.Few people choice to treat themselves like dogs, they give themself rewards once they go through a situation they previously didn’t fell comfortable with (such as discipline in 1 hour of exercise and then have some ice-cream, or if they are after patience or sociability like talking to strangers they also reward themselves).tl;dr:Is there a difference? YESCan they be learn? YESDoes that make them same as skills? NO (Different learning process)SelfHelp Books help? YES (but that’s just 10% of the process)
What is talent?
Let's make a clear distinction between "skill" and "talent."Skill is craft and technique. It is taught, refined, honed and developed. I'd lean on the word "craft" in this definition.Talent is intelligence, confidence and natural ability. Even though, I hesitate to use that term. It's too easy to fall back on thinking someone is gifted, when really that isn't necessarily true.Talent is being able to manipulate one's skills. Almost 85% of art-making is skill-based. Ballet Dancers are entrenched in technique -- it is the Prima Ballerina that takes that craft and displays talent, the upper 15%, to make it Star Time.
