Some players RPing tailors will write a @dtease message, if they write one at all, in the form of, "%N adjusts the collar of %p %t as %s gives %d a grin." which is incorrect and will result in a broken output for the wearer.
To illustrate this point, suppose Alice is wearing an article of clothing with a @dtease message of "%N adjusts the collar of %p %t as %s gives %d a grin." and Bob is the target of the tease.
Alice will see, "You adjusts the collar of your shirt as you gives Bob a grin."
Bob will see, "Alice adjusts the collar of her shirt as she gives you a grin."
Third parties will see, "Alice adjusts the collar of her shirt as she gives Bob a grin."
However, if the @dtease message is written with the %<> syntax on verbs such as: "%N % the collar of %p %t as %s % %d a grin." then everyone is happy.
Alice will see, "You adjust the collar of your shirt as you give Bob a grin."
Bob will see, "Alice adjusts the collar of her shirt as she gives you a grin."
Third parties will see, "Alice adjusts the collar of her shirt as she gives Bob a grin."
Proposed Solution: The solution to this is simply to update the help files for tailoring in order to explain the nuance of the @dtease message since (within the context of tailoring) this syntax is only used with @dtease and not with @tease, @otease, or any other tailoring @message. As far as I can tell there is no mention of this construction in the help tailoring or any other help file (such as the files for pronouns or substitutions). The only hint that this syntax exists and should be used is based on the default @dtease message included on base tailoring materials.
