People - Two Little Questions
Hi!
I would like to ask, what does this sentence mean: Normal people worry me? Does it mean, that I am worried about normal people, or does it mean, that normal people are worried about me? And if it can mean both, which one is the more common/proper meaning?
And another question: is it right to say "people is"? Or should it rather be "are"?
