The document provides guidance on the proper uses of the words "amid" and "among". It states that "amid" should be used for mass nouns, while "among" should be used for plural countable nouns. It gives the examples "Amid rumors of bankrupcy, the CEO and CFO resigned the company" and "No one has to worry when among friends" to illustrate the difference. The document also notes that "amidst" and "amongst" are outdated forms that should not be used.
