[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People live in the Capitol? The poors? [/quote] There’s no such word as poors. [/quote] And yet OP used it. Hence my question. [/quote] I think the issue with "the poors" is that it has a sneering tone. And it replaces a perfectly good term" "the poor," as in "the poor you will always have with you." The addition of the s on the end makes it somehow nasty. You wouldn't write "Jesus told us to feed the poors," but you would write "I don't want my children to go to school with the poors."[/quote] Have none of you ever been on DCUM before. People have used it on DCUM for years to indicate that kind of sneering at the poor. OP is using it to indicate the sneering by the hyperconsuming families she/he is annoyed by.[/quote]
