They are discussing about a website design, more context:
B: My idea is to stick another page here and link it to the 'Contact us' page. It would tell people where the studio is.
R: Like a map?
B: Yeah, a map - and directions if you're coming by car, bus or on foot. We're not so easy to find.
R: OK. So we'd call the page 'How to find us' or something.
B: 'How to find us',

john liaoSo, why is "people stuff" without a "'s" as "people's stuff" ?People stuff is people-related things, ideas, functions or information.
People's stuff is stuff that belongs to people - bicycles, bedrolls, pots and pans, etc.

In my experience, most people will go to the cinema if they really want to see a new film, especially if the special effects are good. They’ll also buy a home copy of a film they like if / provided it’s cheap enough.
What's the difference between "if" and "provided"? In the first part of the sentence above, only "if" can be used, however, in the second part, "provided" is also OK.

The difference is "especially." It can be used before "if", but not before "provided."
If you use an adverb
