It's not like saying "enjoyed the animals and the big cats". If English is your second language then perhaps this will help you speak colloquial English.

- hydrok9 3y agoFunctionally it is the same. Fish are animals, big cats are animals.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoEnglish is my first language, which is why I understand the analogy I gave is accurate, both in colloquial and technical forms of English. Fish are animals, and only the extremely uneducated would think otherwise. Now that this has been pointed out to you, perhaps you will start to speak correctly from this point on, and educate your friends and family to do the same. Knowledge and education in the US is bad enough. The last thing we need are people advocating to use incorrect language and spreading misinformation.
- maxbond 3y agoPeople using language differently isn't misinformation. I think maybe it's time to let this disagreement go. The stakes are so small, their immediate response to someone pointing out that were animals was "you're right," it's been 18 hours, and it's been a difference of opinion this entire time.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoSaying fish are not animals is 100% misinformation. I'm happy to let it go, but if I get a reply that I feel warrants a reply, I will.
