Minor fixes to tutorial pages

[karlwilcox]

I’ve been reading through the draft blazonry pages. They are coming along really well. Here are a few notes I took along the way. Really looking forward to reading the final product.

What is Blazonry?
… Does the band run across the middle or from [top] to bottom?…

Just a missing word.

The Structure of a Blazon
You use the term “tincture” at the end of the page with telling the reader that it means colour (or color).
Simple Charges
The technique of using the word Chief before you define it and then showing it to them in an example is probably a good idea, it makes the writing interesting and keeps the reader’s attention, but, you don’t tell them tell them if it is a division, an ordinary or a charge until the self-test. That feels a little late. In general, I’m liking the style, mixing defining this before using them, showing them by example and letting the user discover them in the interactive portions. This case just feels a little late in defining or exemplifying the term.
Furs

Ermine (representing the fur of a small white mouse with a black tail, native to Armenia)

So far as I know, the ermine or stout is better described as a weasel than a mouse. Boy am I picky.

Vair (origin obscure, but possibly representing skins of the small animal of the same name, stitched together)2

I thought the term was well-attested, based upon the Latin root for varigated and representing a patchwork fur of a number of squirrels. I’m not aware of any animal known as a “vair”. Wikimedia has a nice image a Russian squirrel skin plate that even shows the shape that is being abstractly represented. — https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Russian_squirrel_belly_skins.jpg

1. Rest assured that all furs used in DrawShield are artificial and no animals were harmed during the creation of the program.

Another example of the writing style that I like. You make the subject light, entertaining and interesting.
