>>It does not matter if one habitually uses Persons or People to describe a set or people. It's only important to recognize that we're talking about a set. A singular set should be named. So, is a set containing people to be called a PersonSet or a PeopleSet? ;)

But there's context! And it consists of two or three other words which have only about 12 meanings each, so it's easy to discard the wrong possible combined meanings within a microjiffy.
