The Pittsburgh Post Gazette Now News has an interesting discussion about using the term “guys” when referring to women. Only a few opinions are included, and the editor gave equal representation to both sides of course. For the record, I am of the opinion that “guys” is an acceptable term for either sex in a casual environment. It has become gender-neutral. In more formal situations, or when women have clear position priority over the person speaking, “guys” would not be appropriate or effective.
