Persons vs Peoples

[edit]

I notice that this pages uses "people with disabilities" instead of "persons with disabilities", as used in the law. Saying "people" makes the number of disabled Canadians seem unlimited. But thanks to data from Stats Can, we have a finite number. So "persons" is more common. Is there a reason that it says "people with disabilities" that I haven't figured out? Sers jr.

I'm probably the one who wrote that. One could argue that "people" and "persons" are equally finite (or equally infinite), although as you point out, "persons" is used in the actual legislation. I found this webpage of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, who I would expect to be especially careful about terminology, where the phrases "persons with disabilities" and "people with disabilities" are used interchangeably on the same webpage. [1] Here's another Canadian government webpage that uses both phrases. [2] Canadian2006 (talk) 20:19, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
