My Steemit journey has just started and I'm still on the phase of getting to know what I'm into. Just a few days ago, I realized that the ranks are named after sea creatures and I thought that was cool because I love fishes.
I haven't invited anyone yet to Steemit, I was going to start with my biologist friend, Abraham. He goes to the same dialysis center as I do, we bump at each other quite often. This morning, I sent him a message in Messenger, I excitedly told him that there is a potential to earn and all the other small details I know about the platform. He asked me if I have earned from it, like if I had actually withdrawn an amount as proof that it works. I said no, because I'm still learning how it works and I'm still a plankton. He replied with, "Did you just call yourself a plankton?" I said, "Yes, that's the first rank in Steemit and then you become a minnow, a dolphin, an orca, a whale and probably in the end you become a megalodon." LOL
It took him awhile to reply to my last message. Then he corrected me, that I was not a plankton but a plankter. Plankton is already plural and I should be referring to myself as a plankter instead, moving forward. Oh wow! What do I know? LOL
That's some good to know information. LOL I thought I'd share it here. Most of you probably know that already but anyway, some would be as clueless as me. He sent me some pictures of real plankton from his phone gallery and he allowed me to share it here as well.
I guess it follows that you cannot put an 's' at the end of plankton to make it plural because it already is plural and the singular form is plankter. We learn something new everyday. I hope my friend, Abraham joins me in my Steemit journey, it'd be cooler with him here sharing his Biology stuff all over the Steemit Planet.

the first image is cute .it looks like a pine tree..it reminds me of that plankter in sponge bob square pants haha. I hope your friend will join steemit and be part of achievers hehe.
Hahaha! I thought you were referring to Jon Snow. Jon Snow is cute and looks like a pine tree. LOL Yep, I hope he joins us soon.
Lordie! If he joins Steemit, I'm never going offline ever again..lol
Hahaha! I hope so, too and drop some spoilers so we won't be too shookt of the twists. lol
Hehehehehe...indeed! Because those twists have been getting more nerve wracking with each passing season
Great job
Thank you!
You touch me with your beauty. Thank you for everything
Meeee toooo! I learnt something valuable today!
Thank you, @surpassinggoogle. This means so much to me. I will support your brainchild projects here, for Steemit and everyone in it.
Hello, plankter! I hope life's treating you well. Take care and be well!
Thank you, I am not so well but I got the hang of it already. Life is tough but we are tougher! You take care, too and all the best.
Glad to know that! 🤗🤗🤗

I'd love to persuade my friends from the UK to join Steemit, but they seem to stuck on other rubbish forms of Social Media. I like this post a lot. I found it on the link in the Qurator postpromotion. I already voted the person before you. Then I read this. :-)
Thanks, I appreciate the comment and vote. I'll return the favor when my VP is up. Soon enough, our friends will have to beg us how to do Steemit, wait for it. hahaha! See you around here.
First and foremost, I had to stop in just because of the Jon Snow meme then I started reading your post, you are definitely right that we learn something new every day, I never knew that a plankter was just a single plankton how cool!! thanks @mermaidvampire
You're welcome. We'll all learn something new here and hopefully earn in the process. Keep Steemin' on!

Yep, true that. Steemit is amazing.
Awww... I so enjoyed this read! Had me smiling all the way! I'm looking forward to reading from you. You have a very interesting writing style. Cheers.
Thank you, I appreciate you telling me you liked it. I am new to writing. I feel like I speak better than I write. But I have no guts making videos coz it's just not my thing being on camera so I guess I 'll hone my writing skills.
Lolzz.. Trust me, I can relate! Great job still.
Really? Plankter singular, Plankton plural?! Had no idea! Gonna go tell hubby asap, we been calling them Planktons...ouch! Thanks for this @mermaidvapire! Cheers!
Yep, I was shookt, too. Hahaha Cheers!
All this time I thought I was a minnow, turns out I am still a plankter
Hahaha! Me too, logged in to busy.org and it said Plankton under my name and I was like, what is this? hahaha!
Hi @mermaidvampire! Nice to meet you! I also feel in the same position as you, newly joined and eager to wrap my head round how it all works and how I can maximize my time and energy invested on this platform. I heard about witnesses but don't understand how this works yet, I will do some research, so thanks for writing about this. If you have any links or resources on how to get in touch with witnesses, do let me know. Let's connect!
If you have some time, I'd really appreciate it if you checked my introduce yourself post :) https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@bristena94/introducing-diaryofafreespirit
Hi, thanks for dropping by, here is a post by pfunk about witnesses, I hope this will help: https://steemit.com/steemit-guides/@pfunk/a-full-steemit-user-s-guide-to-steem-witnesses The best of luck in your quest to discovering yourself. Your writing is good. Stay strong. Life is tough but you can be tougher and you should. I've been to hell and back and back again ten times, too, but what matters is we're still standing no matter what. Life is beautiful, just keep living it. See you around Steemit, I look forward to seeing more of your works. Life is never a boring subject for me. Keep it up and keep Steemin' on!
Hhhhhhh... Your post complexly matches to my experience. After six months have signed up that I know only how to vote and follow. But I am still here to read other post . and to follow as much as possible.
We'll learn the ins and outs of this one day and get the hang of it. Keep Steemin', how I wish I learned about this platform 6 months back.
Thank you for response @mermaidvapire
So beautiful day I feel. Thanks alot.
