Btw is there a difference between people.and persons? I hear both being used but i grew up with people.
people = a group
persons = a group of individuals
Great question. When I hear people I think that’s used to draw attention to common relevant traits “people of England” for example. Persons is more a group of less related individuals or at least with less relevant similarities “persons of interest” for example
