I looked up the definition of talent....

Definitions of talent on the Web:

endowment: natural abilities or qualities
a person who possesses unusual innate ability in some field or activity
a superior apparently natural ability in the arts or sciences or in the learning or doing of anything



On the basis of the above definition it is hard to say that someone of average or even slightly better than average ability can be described as having talent. Talent is doing something special, something unique that only a few others can equal.

I do not understand why people say someone has talent when they are just run of the mill average. We may as well say we all have talent and forget about the proper meaning.
