What if I could overcome my gut-wrenching hatred for the phrase ‘you guys’?
Well, it would certainly make my life a lot easier because I hear this phrase multiple times a day. I wish I could accept being referred to in terms that insinuate the whole population is male or that male terms are ‘neutral,’ but I can’t. When I hear ‘you guys,’ I don’t feel like whoever is saying/writing this is talking to me because I am not an f***ing guy!
Reminds me of my post on how “guys” was used in an email to advertise a web development job. “Guys” is not gender neutral.
