As a native English speaker it sounds fine but slightly archaic. On 29 Oct 2009 14:48, "Randal L. Schwartz" <[email protected]> wrote:

You would use "peoples" if you're referring collectively to the various people in many nations, and the fact that they are organized into nations are essential to convey. But as a planet, we'd say "people of Earth", or maybe (although I haven't heard this): "peoples of the nations of Earth". In any case, "peoples" is rare, and should probably just be avoided. -- Randal L.
