Grammar
Of his kind
Hi friends,
do we say 'his kind of people' or 'people of his kind'? For instance, I can't tolerate people of his kind.
Is this fine?
warm regards,
Katie

Normally one would say "I can't tolerate people like him". I guess "people of his kind" could work with the meaning "people like him", but "his kind of people" sounds to me more as if it means "the kind of people that he likes / associates with".
