People vs Peoples

#1.  I hate hate hate when someone uses the word "peoples".  It's not a real word and it's unnecessary to add the "s".

#2.  People is already plural.  You add S's to things to make them plural (see what I did there?  I said things, which is the plural of thing.).

#3.  To make me feel less irritated about the improper use of this non-existent word I made up a definition to make myself feel a bit better.

People: a group of people.


Peoples:  Infinity amount of people including everyone who has ever lived and everyone who will ever be born!!
!

#4.  You don't add S's to the already plural normal words such as geese: I'm going to feed this leftover bread to the pretty geeses.  That just sounds stupid. 

#5.  Proof that this offensive word is used:
 

#6.  There is a solution to this problem!  Instead of saying Peoples - make it a real word by adding an apostrophe! People's!  That makes everything better.  It's saying that the people are taking ownership of something.  It's empowering, and makes everything look smarter.
