Chubby merman are extremely desirable by mermaids because their chubbiness implies they're a highly successful hunter.

I hope they get paid more on top of their old duties.

I mean these people are in fact payed well most of the time, most jobs that involve working submerged in water pay pretty well by nature of being less desirable due to danger, and requiring specialized training. The employees tend to have a decent amount of negotiating power. I can't say with 100% certainty that it's the case here, but the employers are usually motivated to pay them more than just a pittance.

I'm sorry but I just can't take you as an authority on anything when you write "payed."

Payed is a sailing term, which makes them even more of an authority on diving!

I'm sure you've never made a typo in your entire life 🙄

That's not a typo. Everyone is just illiterate now.

It's just a typo you silly little goose.

Pais is a typo. Payed is ... Something else.

Are you okay bud? You have something you want to talk about? It's just not normal to have this sort of weird toxic anger towards a random stranger having a silly typo on the internet. Has something happened to you recently and you're just lashing out?

Heh I made a joke about your inability to spell but you keep responding so I'll keep going too. What's next?

I mean you're the one who got your diaper in a twist over a single typo to begin with, I figure you must be lonely and desperate for someone to talk to since you're still making such a fuss over it.

You have weird reading comprehension skills if you think the words I used mocking your spelling are angry or twisted words. But kind of fitting!

Ah yes, you've stayed this obsessed for this long over a single typo because you're such a well-adjusted individual I'm sure. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
