Ok, I figured out "how many people tweet in french?" ... I was missing a 
join:

> Person.joins(:tweets).where(:tweets => {:language_id => 'fr'}).count
   (0.1ms)  SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "people" INNER JOIN "tweets" ON 
"tweets"."person_id" = "people"."id" WHERE "tweets"."language_id" = 0

p.s. Thomas -- thanks I will read that too.
