Compare two people/their actions
Hello People,
Mick was as upset as Jay was when his own people deserted him.
The intended meaning is: Jay was upset when his own people deserted him. Now Mick was just as upset.
But in the above, when I say 'his own people' (implying Jay's own people), could it be misunderstood as Mick's own people? Is there some way to remedy this?
Thanks a ton.
Mick
