I am a native english speaker.  Any of the three would be fine, and I 
believe clear to most english speakers.  I just like actions, because I 
think of it more as the player giving orders to the pingus to act rather 
than the pingus learning the 'skill' or 'craft'.

So, an action seems to be precisely what is happening.  This just isn't 
one of the areas where I thought "The Pingus language files need a 
little help" when I played the 0.6 version for the first time.  My 
girlfriend wasn't confused by it either, when she played and made some 
levels with the level editor.

I was going to offer to copy-edit the english text and provide a patch, 
but I believe it has already been done in CVS, so I'll spend my spare 
time on levels, graphics, and music.  If the text still has problems 
next time I take a look, I'll work on it.
