Starrk, I know you said you weren't going to get into an argument and I respect that, but let me just put my side out there as a literate user that can't stand wolfspeak.
Let me first say that I am a college student studying medicine. I know the anatomy of the body and have actually dissected a cat as part of my lab. I will actually have to do it again next semester. I'm not bragging, just saying that I really do know the anatomy of a cat very well and understand it.
I don't really care about the words being used by wolfspeakers, and actually appreciated it in the beginning when my clan's deputy introduced me to it, and I later joined a wolf pack that also used it and didn't mind it. I mind it when people are misusing it, which happens very often, using small pieces of anatomy to reference a large section of the body and being unrealistic when they do it. Also, they pick up wolfspeak words from other people without understanding the real meaning of the words and make mistakes that grate at my nerves because I DO know what exactly all of those words mean.
Let me give an example. Just last night I was roleplaying in a battle and someone said they "grabbed the scalpula and jerked on it, dislocating it." Let me break down how that was wrong. Well, first it was an autohit, which shouldn't have happened, but in a huge battle like that, there are always a few that can be looked over as long as they are minor so I'm not going to bother with going through that. Let me get down to how the word scalpula was misused. Scalpula is the shoulder BONE, not the shoulder area or muscle. In the cat, is is small, thin, and flat. Also, cats have HUGE amounts of muscle in that area because of all of the climbing they do. (Seriously, it took us 3 days to get through it in the lab.) There is no way another cat could bite that deep in the first place (Their fangs are only long enough to make it half of the way through the muscle at most) and the bone lays in such a way that there's no way to actually grab hold of it without ripping out the spine or leg bone first. You add more words misused like that and it's an entire post of painful illiteracy.
Honestly, I would prefer semi literate to people who misuse wolfspeak. For me, hearing people refer to the head by a small bone in the skull, or referring to a leg by a single bone, or using digits to refer to the legs when your digits are your fingers and toes (which is another misuse I saw just last night)... it's just plain annoying and painful to read.
Now as I said, I'm not trying to start an argument here, I'm just trying to let us non-wolfspeak literates have a voice too. And I will say this, I only complain about wlfspeak when it is misused like the example I showed above. As long as it is used correctly I'm perfectly fine with it. I won't use it, but I won't say anything or complain either.
And Duna, I'm not criticizing your post. The tutorial is very well done and easy to understand. I'm just expressing that it would be an even better tutorial if you explained the difference between wolfspeakers and regular literates like me. I know a lot of people that don't like when the two are grouped together as one, both wolfspeakers and literates. I just happen to be one of those people.
