The rest
Can 'the rest' be used to refer to people? Or, must we always say 'the rest of them'? Nine people agreed; the rest disagreed. Or, is it always 'the rest of them'?

AnonymousThanks, Cool Breeze. Is 'rest' both singular and plural?Yes. Always applicable:
The rest of it was easy.
The rest of the people were tired.
