Is it untrue that the world is overpopulated? Could it be possible that there are only a million or less people left?

    The world is overpopulated because developments in medicine have eradicated some conditions that would have normally caused more deaths.  But its all really in how you view it - crowded urban conditions and deforestation of the world would indicate overpopulation but there are some people who do not even consider such things and won't be satisfied until there are so many people in the world that there exist insufficient resources to clothe and feed them.  And then they all die.  Which does happen in some places even now.

     Less is incorrect.

    This isn’t an English exam, and you’re not an examiner

      (You're missing the ending punctuation on your sentence.)


      I've never intimated either of those suppositions.

    Its no wonder people on this site are purposely using poor spelling and punctuation when people like you are pointing out their errors. What are you hoping to achieve? Do you think people will try to change the way they write just to please you? People just won’t post anything or they will make unreadable posts to annoy you intentionally. Some people including myself struggle with written language. Believe it or not my spelling and grammar used to be worse than it is now. You’re good at English, congratulations! What do you want? A medal? This post was edited by Gypsyking at June 5, 2018 6:37 AM MDT

    Not everyone is here to improve their English. It’s trolling really

    True. But those of us who are open to learning and growing appreciate the help in our effort to improve their english.

      I've neither asked you nor anyone else for any type of renuneration or compensation whatsoever for my stance on grammar, so no medals are necessary.

    What are you hoping to achieve then? Is it just to annoy people?

      You're the one who's imaging that I have some surreptitious goal in mind. You don't like what I list, fine. You've exercised your right to express your opinion, which I support. I exercise that same right, yet it seems you're against it because I post some things with which you disagree.  
      There are things that annoy me, too, and poor grammar is one of them. If you strive just as hard against poor grammar as you have so far against what I post, you and I would be on the same side of the fence.  You post what you think is appropriate and I'll post what I think is appropriate. 
      You may pontificate as much as you like and for as long as you like; I guarantee you that it won't compel me to alter my posting in even the slightest way. 
      Please continue to enjoy your time on AnswerMug; I know I sure will.

    Well, if it's true that 90% of them were at Trump's inauguration, it's quite possible.

    No, and no, it’s not possible. 
    If these are truly points you are wondering about, you ought to get out and see more of the world.  I suggest India or Mexico.

    It could be possible. Just because a place appears overpopulated it doesn’t mean it is. Hologram technology exists
