    English is vague like that

    Edit: I think we’re filling in a space and we each subconsciously pick one.

    Ex:

    TIL that [some] people in Los Angeles live completely surrounded by traffic

    TIL that [all] people in Los Angeles live completely surrounded by traffic

    TIL that [there are] people in Los Angeles [that] live completely surrounded by traffic

    TIL that [the] people in Los Angeles live completely surrounded by traffic

    Etc.
