The worst crime contractions ever pulled was convincing people that "would've" is "would of".

They forgot "a and an"
A Truck,
An Elephant.
Snag....quick question.
What is the plural of "person"? Is it "persons" or "people"?
No journalism style guide that I've ever read suggests using "persons" instead of "people".
As far as I can tell, "persons" seems to be used solely in the legal system.
Usage rules, and "Persons" sounds stilted, except in the legal sense. But it's still the plural of "person."
Magpie Militia, I'd suggest, There were 36 people in the room. It's correct, the meaning is clear and it sounds/feels "right'.
N.B. If you reading widely and well, your sense of what sounds/feels right will be come very acute.
LOL, Pie eyed! You have used the word 'wrong' four times in one sentence!The use of "person or persons" saw a massive revival due to de-sexualization of our legal, business and everyday language.
It does not only sound wrong because is wrong it sounds wrong because the concept it tries to imbue is in it self sexist and wrong.
There are two sexes, which are very different ( hallelujah )and there ain't know PC way around that.
LOL, Pie eyed! You have used the word 'wrong' four times in one sentence!
