These type of people.

[FalaGringo]

Why do many (including myself) say "These type of people" and find it rather odd to say "This type of person" or even "This type of people"? is it completely wrong to say "These type of people" no matter the situation?

If there were 4 people in a room and they were one type of person, would it be ok to say "These type of people"?

 

[Tarheel]

I would say "this type of person" or "these types of people" if I said that at all.

I can't think of a situation where it would work.

After these, you must use a plural noun. A singular noun is ungrammatical.
