Skip Shift?

sorry for the basic question, I did try a search and found lots of discussion around this but no basic explanation --

what is "Skip Shift" ?

do I understand correctly that when you accelerate gently, in a manual transmission, the skip shift "feature" forces you to shift directly from 1st to 4th gear?

Does this apply to both the V8 and V6 manual transmission?

Is there a way to turn it off?

This seems like a really dumb feature . . . I'd rather accelerate gently and smoothly through all the grears than bog it down going straight from 1st to 4th . . . or maybe the V8 is so torquey that it doesn't bog . . . no wonder there is discussion of aftermarket products to defeat this "feature"

(I haven't bought mine yet so that's why I'm not sure what you are talking about, trying to learn all I can before I decide)
