用法筆記

Fisher is less common than fisherman or angler in everyday speech. Some people prefer fisher as a gender-neutral alternative to fisherman. As a surname, Fisher names several notable historical figures — Irving Fisher (American economist, 1867–1947), John Arbuthnot Fisher (British naval officer, 1841–1920), and M. F. K. Fisher (American food writer, 1908–1992) — but these are proper nouns, not uses of the common noun sense described here.
