Re: Help For The Paragraph...
No, they didn't. You cannot say 'poor' in English. You can say 'poor people', or use 'poverty' or 'the poor', but when an adjective is used as a collective noun, it doesn't normally take the plural, even though it implies a plural number, and 'poors' is quite simply an error.
