On an unrelated note, you highlight something I’ve been thinking about–how common is usage of the word “guys” as a generic, non-gendered colloquialism for a group of humans? Phrases like “Hey guys, check this out!” or “Can I help you guys?” is kind of ingrained in my speech pattern, but it has nothing to do with the actual gender of the people I’m addressing… still, there was one time, recently, where someone corrected me on it. Curious to hear others’ take on the matter.
