On an related word, what have been your observations on the use
of 'guys' referring to a group of people (of unspecified
sex), as in 'you guys'?

I have a feeling it is more popular with younger people, as older
people tend to object to the use of 'guys' when a female is included,
but I'd like to hear what other people think.
