Omitted or?

I'd like to know why who was omitted in the following sentence.

People in this chat are so angry. I saw this sentence being said by a native speaker, or at least he claims to be a native speaker.

I guess the sentence should be People who are in this chat are so angry, or People, in this chat, are so angry.


Would you mind explaining it? Thanks.

Hi, It's just a normal prepositional phrase. Nothing is omitted. You don't need the commas.

Thank you. So would the sentence still be a prepositional phrase with who? Or would it become a relative clause? I'm sorry if the sentence can be the both at the same time.( I don't know of prepositional phrase at all)

A prepositional phrase is not a sentence. It is part of a sentence.


Or would it become a relative clause? Yes

I'm sorry if the sentence can be the both at the same time.( I

Thank you Clive, the link you gave from now on is on my learn-list. Also does the I'm sorry part look weird to you? Having written it, I noticed I made a mistake, I guess.
