	Comments:	Skillful and Skilful seem to be the difference of American and British English but "skillfull" is a mispelling.

	Comments:	Prog's entry for 器用 (sense 1) includes the following sentences. "彼はなんでも器用にする" "彼女はたくさんの仕事を器用にこなしている" "少年は器用に人込みをくぐり抜けた" Another JE has "器用な役者" The glosses shouldn't be restricted to skill of the hands.

	Comments:	Removed the gloss "handy" because it has too many other meanings besides the one intended here.
