0003199: Grammatical oddity in leather/tanned hide description
If one attempts to view the description of processed leather/hide, it reads, for example...

"This is a XXX leather"

where XXX is replaced by the critter from which it was gleaned. This is probably a result of the item description generator being used primarily for things like chairs, in which "This is a chair" is appropriate, grammatically.
Slaughter or hunt some poor critter, tan their hide, then view the description of the hide before it is processed further.
No tags attached.
