Excited to share tailwindcss-fluid-font-size, a new fluid typography Tailwind plugin.

I’ve been iterating on Tailwind approaches to fluid typography for a couple years. tailwindcss-fluid-font-size is more flexible and, to me, the most ergonomic and idiomatically “Tailwindy” of the solutions I’ve built or read about.

Open minded Tailwind haters might even be interested in at least the design.

In my latest YouTube video I use the phrase “the people is” several times. This has started quite a discussion in the comments section about whether or not that is grammatically correct. Some people insist it’s always “people are”, while others say that in this case “people is” is the right way. What’s right? Is there a nuance between British and American English here?

@anderspuck @sarahbeck I can't think of an example where "people is" or "police is" is correct for me. (Native American English speaker. Fwiw linguistics degree but I'm speaking about my dialect - maybe others have different usage). What's your "police is" example?

Some have suggested "population is". In most contexts including "population" for me would be a count. "Populace is" works for "the people are", but it sounds like something from historical law.

@anderspuck @sarahbeck I stand corrected! I knew those two as exceptions; this article says "population"and "public" are the same — perhaps "people" is too? https://www.cambridge.org/elt/blog/2022/03/23/my-team-is-winning-or-are-they/
