Bret is correct - please see a dictionary. In writing for people who read English, "hoi polloi" is a noun.

Bret is only correct if it’s what the style book says. I prefer the OED, and per that he’s wrong.

Reading English isn’t an excuse to say things incorrectly. In OH we have LY-mah and CARE-oh. Drives me insane.

In MO we had ver-SALES.

People need to be better educated, not chew up the language. I can’t write “they/them” without my eye twitching. I do it but I hate it.
