Exactly what says on the tin. Now that we have that out of the way I'm just going on my rant. I see this all the time, by that I mean people using terms improperly. The biggest offender thus far I have seen is when some uses the the term "were" like you find at the beginning of wererat or werewolf, but they decide to shorten it down to "were" when talking about the demographic as a whole. I will tell you this, for everyone who doesn't seem to know, that is improper use of the word "Were" is an old term for Human, the word Werebeast literally mean Human Beast. It has been historically used the "were tax" was a denomination of currency paid to family after one of its members was killed in some kind of legal or state operation. With all that said I know people will continue to use the term improperly in the future, but it is my hopes that this rant deters its use by some of you who read this from such actions in the future.
