			<title>Guys and Dolls...uh...Gals...uh Girls</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Actually the use of "guys" for both males and females is quite common and has neutral connotations, whereas "gals" has a slightly archaic feel to it. A female native-speaker in an all female group would more likely refer to "just us girls" or "let's have a girls' night out," while the use of the term "girls" by a male speaker might be considered patronizing. Even more archaic and today considered somewhat pejorative is the use of "dolls" and is used now only to refer to the title of the famous musical "Guys and Dolls."]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm from southern California and I often use the "you guys" form and sometimes "you all" but avoid "y'all" unless I am making a joke. I would say "you gals" if there were only girls in the group. The more I think about it the more I enjoy using English! There are so so many ways to say the same thing. :-)]]></description>
