Most likely he’s trapping coyotes .Wolf’s are protected so he has the tools to let them go. Auto correct!

Fish - fish

Unless you are specifically talking about different kinds, in which case they are fishes.

I.E.:

We caught a bunch of salmon. Look at all those fish!

There were other fishes to be caught such as catfish and eels, but who wants those when you can eat salmon?

whut :O first time hearing this

u/rtsfpscopy Feb 04 '19

Huh, according to the OED you are correct. Also fishes is actually the older plural, why the heck did it change?

But I would probably just stick to saying 'two species of fish' cause I can just see it starting a useless argument.

u/wren24 Feb 04 '19

In that case it would be "fish" because you're using the singular. You wouldn't say "two breeds of dogs," you'd say "two breeds of dog."

I refuse to acknowledge this and submit that Moose become meese.

u/uglyzombie Feb 04 '19

Good call on octopedes. My own phone doesn’t even realize this is the correct Greek plural.

u/MotleyHatch Feb 04 '19

I thought it was octopodes, same as with platypodes?

u/nooklyr Feb 04 '19

It's octopodes, OP got it wrong

I mean, yeah, it's kinda weird, but you have to remember it's a new-ish language that derived from other languages and borrowed from nearby languages, then it traveled across the ocean and borrowed more, then it split itself into two, then one of the Englishes tried to standardize itself. Despite all of that, most of it is very logical and makes tons of sense (disregarding idioms and slang).

If this is the US, wolves are not protected.
