I am a full-time German to English translator. This blog is my creative outlet to share my knowledge and random musings. Despite the title of my blog, I am generally available for translation work - even if there might be a delay of a few days. You can contact me at gertoeng AT jill-sommer.com.
Apparently you aren’t the only one! https://www.change.org/p/the-scientific-community-change-the-name-of-a-group-of-squids-to-squad The usual term is a shoal of squid.
I never have been in the past, but I will be now.
Damn. And here I’ve been calling them squads for years!
