How would Fish feel if he woke up in a reality where he was the odd one out? Would he really be thrilled if, as a student, his way of writing was frowned upon and he was forced to learn a new and alien way of communicating? This isn't the same as learning a language for fun on Duolingo, Stan.

Sometimes I think he might be!

This Fish guy sounds like a real jerk!
