Using the word Guys in work emails


Any individual using the term “Guys” in any communication should be instantly booted in bollox/fanny! Then dragged off company premises and stoned to death at the main entrance, then have all pension rights taken away before being given a pauper’s funeral! f***ing “guys”, what an abomination! That is all!
 
Do you use it? Apparently you’re supposed to use words like “team” instead , due to the negative Guy Fawkes etymology.
Personally, I hate it. I use “chaps” if I’m talking to men, “folks” if it’s a mixed audience.
I actually walked out of a meeting once when the tutor addressed us like that

i detest the term

I use the term guys when messaging my customers all the time. Don't see a problem with it.

See above.

Guys is outlawed these days and those who use it as a generic term are not woke enough for air.
 
It's slips out at work and is quickly mocked
Lunch gets an equal reaction
Luckily we don't formally communicate
It never gets above Lads and lasses ,gang ,everyone etc . Team I suppose would be a possible one
