Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

There is actually a meme I've seen showing that fish and fishes are used to separate species. A group of a single species of fish is "a school of fish" but if there is a group of multiple species of fish, then it becomes acceptable to say "a school of fishes."

Not sure how true that is, but it sounds reasonable to me.
