I saw @-bobreyes@libretooth.gr Facebook re-share re: plural of “fish”.

* fish = singular
* fish = plural
* fishes = more than one species of fishes

I added:
* “school of fish”
* “school of fishes”.

But, guess what? In the #Filipino language it is way much simpler:

* singular: isda
* plural: mga isda
* more than one species: mga sari-saring isda

English is just making us all crazy. We should use the Filipino language as the ‘common language’. ;P

(Not to mention, it's one of the most gender neutral language.)

How is it in your language? Is it simple or more specific than the English language?
