Why do people say persons instead of people?

English
1 answer:
ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

I don't think that people say 'persons', because that's grammatically incorrect. But sometimes you would see the word 'person', because 'person' points to one person(Singular), and people points to mutiple people(Plural).

I hope this helps:D

define euphemism and explain how it is related to connotative meaning. Give an example of a common euphemism.
jeka94
The term euphemism refers to polite, indirect expressions which replace words and phrases considered harsh and impolite or which suggest something unpleasant.

Euphemism is an idiomatic expression which loses its literal meanings and refers to something else in order to hide its unpleasantness. For example, “kick the bucket” is a euphemism that describes the death of a person. In addition, many organizations use the term “downsizing” for the distressing act of “firing” its employees.
