Feral Heart

It is my experience that the terms: Literate, Semi Literate and Illiterate are the accepted terms used on many RP sites and games and not just FH. Many create a virtual pet type sites use these terms in their RP forums. I have never heard anyone speak against these terms on any of the sites I've been on except here. I do agree that the terms are not correct if you go by the dictionary but they have been accepted RP terms for more than a decade. from my personal experience. I don't care if the FH community wish to use different terms as long as they are easy to understand. I have seen 'Advanced' and 'Intermediate' in place of 'Literate' and 'Semi-Literate' with the former being largely paragraph or multiple paragraph required RPs and of wolf speakers.

In my opinion as long as the RP definitions of the terms are clearly understood I don't see why the terms need to be changed as words are known to change definition over time and can have different meanings in different settings, such as Literate and Illiterate meaning ability to read and write in a educational/school, etc. setting vs writing a RP post in a game.

I'm female. My first RP character ever, on another site, was male. I play as both genders and had a herm once else where. I have more female characters than males on here, but I mostly play as my male hippo for the novality of it. Seeing others go 'Wow a hippo' in the chat and chasing after me is kinda neat.

I don't have any lions or wolves. I have a cougar(feline mesh), a Leopon cub(feline mesh), a domestic cat(feline mesh) and what's meant to be a Tasmanian tiger(canine mesh). All the RPs I've seen advertized in the chat window were wolf RPs or Lion RPs with the occasional Warrior Cats RP popping up now and then. I think the RPs being asked for depend on who's asking for them. Most RPers seem to play lions or wolves more than other species.
