People person Hi! I wonder whether we can use the expression "people person" in plural. For example, I have two friends. Mark is a people person and so is Alex. May I say that they both are people people or it doesn't sound naturally?

I agree with Chadwick - 'people persons' is fine. You would be understood. NB person has two plurals -' people' and 'persons'. Persons used to be very widespread on formal notices. For example, in a lift 'This lift can carry a maximum of 10 persons'. Or 'Persons wishing to . . . '. Languages change so quickly these days! Martin

It sounds a little awkward, so I would say, "They are both very social." You could also say, "They are social butterflies." This sounds very fluent and casual.

I agree with Beth. I would like to add that if we were having a casual conversation, you could get away with saying 'people persons', and I would be tracking you.
