Does it bother anyone besides me that Lori Goldstein refers to everyone as "you guys"?

I am not a" guy" and do not want to be called by that word.  How many "guys" are watching her?

Personally, I don't mind being referred to as "you guys". Actually, I'm guilty of the same thing if I'm being honest.

@Dobilyn  no, I do this with friends at times and they are perfectly fine with it.

I prefer it to " the ladies" which sounds like it is straight out of the 50s.

No it doesn't bother me or affect my life at all. This is the third or fourth time I have read this same complaint.

You guys is perfectly acceptable in my opinion. That is all. Good evening.

Yes - I hate it - and I hear it everywhere - the weather channel - FOX news - and on and on.  I've never used that phrase and never will.

It's always been my preferred way of referring to females, since I don't like "You women" and really don't like "You ladies." It's also handy for referring to a mixed group.
