simply use your regional y’all. if your y’all is dumb because you’re from Pittsburgh or some poo poo sorry guess yinz regional dialect sucks

lol the entire issue is that "you guys" is the regional version of "y'all" for a lot of the country


either commit to eradicating "guys" as a plural pronoun or defend it. don't try to fence sit.

the desire to abbreviate comes from a place of privilege. minimizing the impact of certain words in a sentence, signaling that your time is too valuable to be spent typing words... the entire practice is deeply rooted in hunger for power.

It’s rude to saddle up to a bar after a long day of herdin beef critters and call anyone a dude, but especially a fellow cow poke. you’d get right thrown out for that.

If you're really gonna be socialist, the generic pronoun for any group you're talking about in the third-person is "cops".
