***** NOT A TEACHER *****

I do understand that international students come here in order to learn current English.

So I do understand that almost all native speakers in 2015 would refer to "the four people."

But I feel that advanced students should know the following, as explained in The Columbia Guide to Standard American English (1993):

"oth seven people and seven persons are Standard, with people getting a good deal more use than persons. Any difference is stylistic [my emphasis]; to some people, persons may seem a bit more formal."

Although I definitely would use "four persons" (probably because of my age), I am NOT suggesting that advanced students follow my example.

I just wanted them to know that if they hear or read "four persons," they should NOT think that the speaker or writer has made a "mistake."

I concur with Piscean's comments,with the addendum that they carry over into modern AmE as well.

Three of them are holding a bottle of beer each in their hands.

"In their hands" could be omitted.

"Persons" seems to be losing ground. It will sound dated to many.

Ngram

 

[emsr2d2]

The only places I see "persons" are in legal documents and (inexplicably) on the sign inside lifts relating to the maximum number of people it is designed to hold. They still say "Max: 6 persons".

It's possibly to do with the legal implications of exceeding the maximum number of people the lift is designed to carry?

 

[Rover_KE]

It's more to do with exceeding the maximum weight of the people in the lift, which is always stated, though nobody ever has any idea of how close to the limit the total weight of the passengers is, nor have they the nerve to ask the others how heavy they are, and even if they knew that, they'd have to covert it from kilograms to pounds or vice versa.

Each trip would take for ever.

I'm sure elevator manufacturers build in safety features to allow for accidental overloading. I've observed that the space available is never big enough to accommodate the maximum number of people stated on the notice.

The weight limit is for the guidance of those who want to take weighty goods, equipment or machinery.

I [STRIKE]explain[/STRIKE] describe it based on a picture.

I would use 'have described' because the OP has already described it.
