Random Questions 'cos I can't find a Random Questions thing...
Is the plural of "goldfish", goldfishes or goldfishi? 'Cos Octopus becoms Octopi... like hippoes (or should that be hippi??)
Anyway... on a less random topic because these have to be serious I think I'm going to talk about my life in general to bore you all.
... I'm not sure I have anything to say about my life. Damn. Oh just go read my stories and tell me how "Leave Out All The Rest" should continue 'cos I'm clueless about it.
Why are we encouraged to label people? I mean, think about it, all the way through your school life you're told that you're "hardworking", "conscientious", "friendly" ya know what they say about you in your report cards... and in language classes your always made to describe people in three words or something stupid. Why? Isn't that just encouraging us to pick faults in people and label them? Encouraging us to become picky and cynical about people, saying things about people and thinking about it and stuff... maybe I should sleep more...

The plural of goldfish is goldfish. Even though fishes is excepted now, but it's technically wrong.
Hippoes stays hippoes. The singular is hippo.
& you label people everyday without realizing it.
'Girl' and 'boy' are labels.
'Young' and 'old' are labels.

Labeling....it's a way of showing people who'd they like or not like with a simple word instead of meeting the person.
I call a bunch of goldfish...... goldfishiesies

well labeling, again, is just a label. you can let it stick on you or take it off. you see, through labels, people do get stronger and know their faults, the hard way. it all depends on the person, if one knows how to evaluate well, labels would not be a problem. Change for the better, throw away the dirt/label if its not beneficial.
And for goldfish, you can always say it whatever way you want. goldfishy, goldies, goldfisheses, up to you. Maybe ask a teacher if you like~
Hippoes should be hippi! Very catchy.

it would become goldfishes-if you want to become smart.
goldfishi-if you want to turn japansees and be cute at the same time
