Original title uses “students.” I haven’t counted the characters but I wouldn’t be surprised if the original title exceeded HN’s length limits, and “folks” was used to shave a few letters off to shorten it to <= HN’s limits. Someone more dedicated than I can count the characters. I personally think this isn’t even worth the time I’m taking to write this comment.
