Message no. 1 Question re Mnemonic Enhancer (page 73 Man and Machine - 2nd paragraph.)

"Because memory retention is key to learning, the Karma cost for learning or
improving skills is reduced by a number equal to the level of the mnemonic
enhancer, to a minimum of 1"

Is this referring to ALL skill or just language and knoledge skills?

Thanks in Advance

All Skills is the reference, though many individuals have desired to
errata/alter this in their house rules to just Language and Knowledge Skills.

The house rule I plan to use is that yes, it applies to all skill, but
the karma cost reduction applies (in total) to all times that skill is
improved, not to each individual time the skill is raised.
In other words, if raise a skill, you can knock of 1 of the karma cost
to do so if you have a mnemonic enhancer rating 1. If you raise it again
and you still only have a rating 1 mnemonic Enhancer, you already knocked 1
of the cost of improving that skill, so you get not further reduction.

It would make a hell of a lot of sense to me to make it only skills linked
to Intellegence, not that I know.
