No, <every other person> vs <every second person>

[Tony_M]

Hello.

The dialogue is mine.

A: People should be responsible for what they say to potential clients.
B: They are responsible.
A: All of them?
B: No, every other person. Of course, all of them. You keep reminding our employees of their responsibilities every day. Even if they wanted to forget them, they couldn't.

Should I use "every other person" or "every second person"?

Thank you.

I didn't get what you meant until you said 'every second person'.

It would be clearer to say "No, about half of them".
