Subject

Are both these sentences correct, and do they mean the same:



a) "The subject is still on the people's mouths."


b) The subject is still on the people's lips."

  

Top answer

"a" is wrong; "b" is okay, but if you're talking about people in general, drop the second "the". Also, you'll hear "on everyone's lips".
