What are your guys favorite cars When entering a place or meet a group of people or starting a speech, how do you say hello to the audience (from a few to thousands of people) Should the word guys be written as guys, guy's, or guys' in this sentence?

It's normal nowadays to walk into a room (men and women, boys and girls etc) and go, hey guys!
Has this always been the case, or what?
The word guy is singularity male and the word guys can only be assigned gender neutrality if it wasn't used to describe men specifically, and which 99 percent of articles that refer to men uses the word guys. I commonly use the word 'guys' to refer to a group of males colloquially It's colloquial but not rude, off putting, condescending, patronizing (though i wouldn't use it with a group of men at a bo. Since you guys is colloquial, if you’re writing down the possessive of the word, you should use a spelling that reflects its pronunciation
If you’re wondering what to use in conversation, the answer is whatever you’ve been using all along. I 've talked to twenty wise guys that 've been ridin' and every one of 'em sings a different song Every guy cracks up his own wheel, and says all the others is made out o' sheet iron and bum castin's. And possibly also hey guys, to a much lesser extent
But i still think the word guy is gendered in pretty much every other context
For example i wouldn't say the following to refer to a group with any women in it, and i'm surprised other respondents here would The simple rules of using a comma before and after the vocative case state that you write, for example, what do you, mark, think about the book But what about “you guys” / “you, guys” I'm working in an english big company in germany
Everybody speak english but most of us as second, or third language One thing i noticed is that we are all guys in the office
