35%全球翻车率（内测预估）

A名

míng · measure word for people

朱批：「名」用于正式统计（三名员工），家里人不这么算。

B位

wèi · measure word for people

朱批：「位」是敬称，用在自家人身上过于客气了。

✓口

kǒu · measure word for people/mouthfuls

D个

gè · generic measure word

朱批：「五个人」语法没错，但说家里人口，中文习惯用「口」。

家里人论“口”——古代按吃饭的嘴算人头，很实在。

口 (“mouth”) counts family members — historically you counted the mouths you had to feed.
