peole

Peole is not a word in standard English. It is most commonly encountered as a misspelling or typographical error for “people.” The error can occur during rapid typing, on keyboards with certain layouts, or through autocorrect.

People is the correct plural form of person. It refers to human beings collectively, to a group of individuals, or to humanity in general. The word can denote a population of a particular region, a social group, or an ethnolinguistic community. The plural “peoples” is used when referring to multiple distinct ethnic or national groups, as in “the peoples of Africa.”

Notes on grammar: “People” takes a plural verb, as in “people are diverse.” The phrase “a people” can refer to a single ethnic or national group, while “peoples” refers to multiple such groups distinctly.

Spelling and usage: To avoid confusion, use “people” in general and “peoples” only when specifically referring to multiple diverse groups. Spell-checkers and careful proofreading help prevent the error.
