Hello.
As I was reading an entry for a word in my dictionary, I came across this example:
'It's impossible to put a figure on the number of homeless people in London'.
And I just asked myself a question, what is the difference between homeless people and the homless?
By the way, it seems to be common case in that we can say the British or British people, the rich or rich people, etc. etc.
Do you feel any difference between those two forms?
Thanks, Alex.
