    Default Re: a group of people

    Collective nouns.
    Fun With Words: Collective Nouns

    A lot of the ones you'll read no one uses in real life.
    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
