Hi there.
I was taught that the plural of person is people, and that it is incorrect to use persons. However very often I come across with sentences using persons, like the one below (to set a context)
Generally persons who have never worn glasses are more easily improved than those who have, and glasses should be discarded at the beginning of the treatment.
Are both ways acceptable? Interchangeable?
Thank you.
