[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]because it’s offensive to say “hey guys!” or “how are you guys doing?” when talking to a mixed group of both women and men.

y’all isn’t offensive. [/quote]

Offensive? Oh my..[/quote]

Hey guys!

- is not offensive.[/quote]

every single person who worked tables has been told not to use hey guys. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1kFkmEMLrY[/url][/quote]

Hey guys is gendered. It will offend some people. [/quote]

I have never thought of “Hey you guuuuys” as the least bit gendered. And I’ve worked a lot with Girl Scout groups where everyone was female and we all said hey guys to each other. Lots of words in English have more than one meaning.

Me too, but now I've been told by people that they consider it offensive and that I should use y'all instead.  I felt like saying that as a Northener, I consider y'all offensive.  But I'm dealing with it and trying not to feel like an extra on a bad Hallmark movie about the South.  Hope y'all don't notice how I grit my teeth when I say it.[/quote]
