WTF is a skew? "Antisymmetric" is just such a better name! And it also appears in other definitions such as antisymmetric multilinear map.

A member of the underlying field of a vector space. E.g. in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$, the underlying field is $\mathbb{R}$, and a scalar is a member of $\mathbb{R}$, i.e. a real number.
