peopleDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Jump to: navigation, search Wikipedia has an article on: PeopleFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. 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.

Everyone I have been dealing with in business has been letting me down in so many ways that I just want to disappear. I am constantly sorry dealing with people after losing my money, energy and time. I am losing with each and every single one of them. I am constantly making mistakes with the people I choose to trust and work with. I give more respect to these people than I give to myself and then they spit on me or rudly ignor me and take the money and literally run. I have robed myself of too much all the time and I know better but I give people the benefit of the doubt anyway. How can I change and what can I do to stop being so nice to people who don't care about me. I am far from being finanically rich and everyone knows this, so… [cont.] Asked by TVStar! - Fri Oct 5 06:04:11 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Business is business. Figure out what you need to make in order to make a sufficient profit and stick to it. "Nice" should not be in a business vocabulary. "Friendly, good service, good product, timely", these are business words. People will always take what they can get. It's up to you to present your business in an attractive way and still make a profit. Figure out what your true investment is, decide on a price, and have the confidence to be firm about it. Find other reasons why people will want what you have,i.e. quality, style, exclusivity, speed, etc. Sell those points.

Hi, I'm from England and I often hear from some of my fellow Englishmen that they hate they way Americans spell and a pronounce words in the English language (I find those people who bash Americans for these to be ignorant morons). Anyway, I'd like to know if this sort of thing happens between other countries sharing the same language. Like, do do some Spanish people complain about the way Mexicans speak their language? Or what about people from Portugal? Do they get annoyed with people from Brazil? Sorry, about that. Take away that "a" inbetween *and pronounce*. My bad :( I have problems with Dyslexia. So, I know what it's like to bugged because of spelling. Asked by RJ - Sat Jan 31 06:31:59 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Romanian is the official language in both Moldova and Romania (those are in Eastern Europe). Romanians often make fun of the way we speak "their" language. There are entire sites dedicated to jokes about us and our dialect. What sucks is that we seem to have developed an inferiority complex because of that :( So, yeah, it's all over the world, not just in the large countries. You know how everyone's uncomfortable with stuff that's even a tiny bit different from what they're used to. Then again, it's understandable in some cases, like when it creates mutual unintelligibility. Take the Scottish dialect for example. Since I'm used to the more widespread American and British English, I think Scottish English is completely crazy :) I tried… [cont.] Answered by Alterverse - Sat Jan 31 18:31:39 2009 Why are people in general kinder to more attractive people?
Q. Why are people in general more kinder to attractive people and meaner to less attractive people? For people who are mean to overweight people, some people are naturally big-boned and even if they loose weight they won't be skinny. (ex - Beyonce, I doubt if she lost a lot of weight she would a size 0) Will attractive people be treated better than most people most of their life? Or will they realize what it is like to be unattractive one day?
