OMG in still confused at this.

"I don't eat animals"

"Do you eat fish?" (My thinking people say they are vegetarian but are actually pescaterian but don't like saying it for some reason)

"Yea but thats not an animal"

"Hahaha yea it is"

"No it isnt"

"Wait what? .. If its not an animal what is it? A tree? Haha"

"It's a fish!"

"Which is an animal"

"No! An animal is an animal, and a fish is a fish!"

"Fish are animals. Look, we can look it up to check if you want"

"I'm not going to look it up because I know a fish isn't an animal. I don't need to look it up!"

"... ... I guess I can't argue with that"

This all took place during pre drinks which is why I thought I was getting fucked with at the start. But I never realised how so many people are walking around blindingly, confidently, unshakeably wrong. She got mad.

This is how I felt as a kid when my peers insisted the thumb is not a finger. Like what are you talking about bro? If I asked before this came up, you'd have said you have ten fingers, not eight.

this is how I feel as a Spanish speaker when English tell me toes aren't fingers

In English, they aren't. Toes and fingers are both digits, but not both toes or fingers.

I acknowledge that you are right, however I also acknowledge that I don't like it and I rather be wrong about it

Language created a thing where Spanish speaker have twice the finger than English speakers.

You can always call them foot fingers in English if you like, although you might get some strange looks.

to differentiate them from hand toes
