Really I never said this. I said you people. But many when hanging out with there friends will say "You guys" even when there are girls in the group. Maybe that is why I can never keep friends saying the more common sense "you people".

That is why I think it stupid. Even a group of girls hanging out will say "you guys" really.The phrase "you guys" is also fine, though it suggests referring to a group of men, which may also be the case. A lot of people will say "you guys" to include anybody and everybody.
I did not know that another Aspie trait. I just really hate saying "you guys" unless they are all guys. So is "you all" better?Saying "you people" can be considered rude. It suggests that there is something distinctly different about "them" as opposed to "you", the individual.
yes.I did not know that another Aspie trait. I just really hate saying "you guys" unless they are all guys. So is "you all" better?
If I can make friends again I would not care much or say anything like it is stupid if they said "you guys" however since I don't it irritates me and I never say it to anyone.I say it too and am always aware when they're not all guys, a little voice in my head.
It seems a bit extreme, though, to not be friends with someone over something like this.
English language has a lot of flaws. Studying Portuguese and Spanish I am discovering it.One of English's flaws is in the gender pronouns, it's a problem in many areas.
