gasp‧ing‧ly, adverb

as taken from dictionary.com. Notice it all points to a motion involving air, ie, breathing.

WHICH goes back to my original arguement, fish don't gasp for air, because they derive oxygen from water and cannot breathe air.

CONSIDERING the fact though that the motion they perform is a desperate attempt at oxygenation and closely resembles the gasping action an air-breather would perform when in need of air;

THEREFORE, saying "a fish gasps for water" would be somewhat (though not completely) correct, for lack of a better convenient word (can you imagine saying "that fish is performing a convulsing, mouth-puckering, jaw-opening-and-closing-in-quick-succession manouver to get water past it's gills");

BUT "a fish gasps for air" would be scientifically just wrong, as we are all thought in alam dan manusia in standard 4,

BRINGING us THEREFORE to the conclusion that the proper sentence, to me, at least, would be "as alive as chiaming's fish gulping for water cos he forgot to add water"





incidently, if you type in "ghasp" in the search bar at dictionary.com, this comes out -

a simple =P would not suffice, therefore -
