The English noun people (singular "person") refers to a plurality of human beings. It has two usages:

Because the word people often refers to abstract and general types of groups, the word persons is sometimes used in place of people, especially when it would be ambiguous with its collective sense (e.g. missing persons instead of people). It can collectively refer to all humans or it can be used to identify a certain ethnic or religious group. For example, "people of color" is a phrase used in North America to describe non-whites.

How do people judge the personalities of attractive people?
Q. I heard that people generally assume that people who are "obviously attractive" have bland personalities. This of course is before people actually get to know them. Do you feel this way? Why or why not? I'll answer, too (for once). I will say that when I see people who I believe society considers "obviously attractive" my first assumption is that they're more outgoing and extroverted, which may or may not be a good thing depending on my mood. Discuss.

A. I'm guilty of this assumption, and to be honest, in most cases I'm right. They tend to be more self-centered than most, and their values are different from mine. Yeah they can be charismatic and social, but it still says nothing about their true personality. Although, I try to veer from making such judgments before knowing the person.

What kind of people typically fall prey to predatory cults like Scientology, JW s and the Mormons?
Q. It seems like they target people who think they are different from other people. From what I know of Scientology, it uses tactics designed to exploit people who think they have some kind of hidden ability inside themselves. JW s and the Mormons have made dogma designed to appeal to people who think they are holier, more pious and more virtuous than other people, right? What do you think?

A. Wrong. Predatory cult? Put up or shut up, my dear. The people whose lives are blessed by Jesus within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do not hate you. If anything, we love you and pity you for the distress we seem to be causing you, however inadvertently. I think you should definitely get professional help for your eschatohierophobia. You'll be much happier, and you might even become a Christian. "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."

How long do people usually have carpet before it wears out and needs to be replaced?
Q. I am curious about how often people usually keep their carpeting in their house. I know some people keep their carpet until it has a few stains and some people keep their carpet until it has spots all over, 'traffic lines', etc. How long do people usually keep their carpet before they replace it? How many years would you figure?
Asked by q_and_a000 - Sun Feb 4 17:26:29 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is 5 to 7 years for cheep carpet and 10 to 20 for quality carpet. however if you can afford the quality carpet your probably changing it anytime you want.

Quotes about people

Sourced

  • A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it.
  • Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.
    • Glen Bateman, The Stand (C&U), 3rd paragraph of Chapter 42, by Stephen King
  • I judge people by what they might be,—not are, nor will be.
  • The people will live on. The learning and blundering people will live on.
    • Carl Sandburg (1878–1967), American poet. The People, Yes (1936)
