there are other people who want to learn English reading our posts here.
sorry my good man but, i dont agree with this statement
the people here are not those who want to learn english
all the people here are translators (at least the ones posting here)
besides, i am a teacher,too
but i am not here to teach
have an awesome weekend hombre
take care
p.s. i didnt mean there is any bad intention in correcting spelling or grammar

You don't need to be 'sorry' for anything and to be honest I don't think you are; it was just a figure of your speech. There are always forum visitors visiting the forum and/or visitors redirected from search engines etc.; so the place is not full of translators, not even the posters. On the other hand, teacher, translator or whatever you think they are, to err is human. And last but not least, a regular noun word cannot be both singular and plural and refer to a different subject of the sentence than its kind at the same time unless the singular subject of the sentence refers to plural meanings, at least grammatically without which a language is nothing.
National Enquirer is good peeps. (= the people who works in National Enquirer)
Swiss is good peeps. (= the Swiss people)
Tureng is good peeps. (= the members of Tureng)
If you really believe that "... is good peeps" and "... are good peeps" can both be correct; then I say you're really going wrong on this. It's not ambiguous; it's just the internet is full of wrong examples simply because we are all people making grammar mistakes.
