According to Garner's MEU, population is neutral in tone, while populace suggests the rabble or common folk. JMGN (talk) 01:04, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Usage note

[edit]

I have added the misuse of "populus" for populace. I do not know if this is a misspelling or an attempt to appear educated, or what. I've seen it online. See the Discussion page at "populus" [[1]].
