yes, "people" denotes a collection, but what type of collection is it? an array? a query? a list? a structure of CFCs indexed by the personID? yes, you can follow the trail on the code to find out what the exact data type is, but I have found that using a little prefix for the data type helps giving some clarity to the code; In other words, use variable names like "qryPeople" (query), "aPeople" (array), "stPeople" (struct) or whatever convention is adopted on your environment.
