Hi Dan, Wish you and your team a great day. It seems that the example with Aztecs has got some typo there. Hope you can fix it. Btw, your video is amazing as usual!

Great! Every time I say that the word "peoples" do exist, someone would say "No, there is no plural for people. People is a plural word already"

Persons are more polite? No wonder that restaurant staffs always asked me how many persons we are not people whenever I call to make a reservation. Thanks Dan

A great try! A few minor changes are needed: "The protoganist of the play behaveS like a real person." "People WHO live in the France are kind."

Would British persons be irritated when using persons always as plural for person (rather than people) and people only for the inhabitants of a country? Or would that be too formal/posh? Because I don't really like the double-meaning of people being the plural of person and a singular of a word with different meaning ...

Thank you very much, I always watch these videos. I just wanted to say that the name of our CONTINENT is AMERICA no AMERICAS, even though it is divided into two or three. Like Europa is not EUROPAS . I don’t know why exist this misinformation. All the people in our continent are AMERICANS. I don’t understand why that is wrongly used to name people for a country either, that’s just wrong. There are 5 continents, just 5. For instance, 5 Olympic rings that represent the 5 continents of the world. Thanks.

Hi Fabio José Silva Rodolpho. Well done! The correct answer is c) people. A different meaning of the word people (and peoples) is nation (or nations). The Aztecs were a people from the Americas.🙂

A Person is a legal Entity. A Fiction that separates you from a living soul and considers you a Corporation to access your Trust and keep you paying Fines because of your Ignorance. There is no mention of person in the bible. Only "My People perish through lack of Knowledge".
