As far as the last definition! I will never be accomplished with the social graces and manners...bummer! :) I think someone is accomplished if they seem satified with what they are doing!

But could he have meant etymological (having to do with word derivation), and not entomological (having to to with the study of insects)? Maddog is accomplished in using long adjectives.

Mine was remote, analytic and vaguely entomological. Blech. Yours were expressive and right on target. Two thumbs up! Troy and Alexandra: terrific responses!

We're a jack of all trades. Personal assistant, groomer, chef, taxi, tutor, etc. I don't need a fancy sticker on my diploma to feel accomplished as long as my little boy is happy every night when I tuck him into bed.

My husband is the same way. It isn't enough that he is a General Surgeon. He says he is 'just' a General Surgeon. He needs to be a Trauma Surgeon or a Heart Surgeon. What this line of thinking does; however, is make the people around him feel less than him. So if he is 'just a General Surgeon', what does that make me? A worthless stay at home mom? I know they don't mean to infer this but that is exactly what that kind of attitude does. We have had many of the same discussions (arguments) where I have been left feeling extremely insulted. I finally decided to quit discussing it with him. He is the one that is short sighted and will lose out on recognizing many accomplished people despite their perceived mediocrity.

One can accomplish (in the sense of "completed, done, effected") his objective - like an arrest - but not necessarily be an accomplished cop (in the sense of "expert, highly skilled.") I'd go with accomplished as meaning "expert or highly skilled." It’s a question of how its used (I think.)
