...huh. so google confirms it's actually a word.


Why are you so surprised?

"People" and "Peoples" aren't the same word.

Like paperwarior said, there's a difference between saying "two people" and "two peoples," because the latter would refer to specific ethnic groups and the former could apply to any two individuals regardless of relation.
