Fishes is an actual word. It is the plural form of fish when you are refering to more than one species.

I didn’t say it was bad. I said it was child-like. It’s the way children do grammar; they assume the way to form every plural is to add an s, or es, to the word. I’ve been known to say foots/footses, now and then.

I LOVE THE FISHES CAUSE THEY’RE SOOOOOO DELICIOUS!

You only say fishes is there are multiple types of fish being referred to. It’s a school of fish anf they’re all the same then fish is the plural.

Ever heard ‘school of fishes?’. Nope. It’s school of fish for a reason.

I’ve heard it referred to as Doin’ the ol’ Hempen Jig. I forget what book it was I just read, but there was some hangings, and a number of threatened hangings, and the language was all in the era context. “You’ll dance for this treason…”

I’ma go google some Hangman’s Slang

There are many words that sound child-like that doesn’t make them any less valid. You should know that nyokki.

In German we say Fische. I guess the entire German language sounds child-like as well.
