Is "with them people" correct? How come?

"Them people" is considered either informal or dialectical. In other words, it's not formal English.
- She hangs out with them people. (Change to "She hangs out with them" or "She hangs out with people like them." If you change it to "She hangs out with those people," it sounds condescending and offensive.)

Hi, it's good to see you back. I saw your recent post about SEVENTEEN's new album 'Semicolon'. Can u tell me how to use a semicolon in my paper? TY in advance.

Hi. It's good to be back. Things here have changed *a lot*. 😅
A semicolon is basically a period (.); it links two complete sentences together.
For example,
• Henry is hungry; he wants to eat a burrito for dinner.
• It rarely rains in Los Angeles; Henry often wonders why he owns 12 umbrellas.

Good luck on your paper! 👍

Do you agree that good things come to those who wait?

No.

To quote a motivational poster, "Good things come to those who work their asses off and never give up."
