Grammar
The humanists / The humanist (?) + Somebody else
When we want to talk about a group of people representing this particular world view, do we use "the humanist" or "the humanists" or maybe "humanists" ?
And one more...
If I want to suggest my friend that I haven't been waiting for him but the other friend, am I to say: "I've been waiting for somebody else" ? What then "somebody else" mean?
I see two possible meanings: 1) Somebody different 2) You and some other man
Which one is right in the situation?
