Guys / Gals vs. Folks

[Ryuno-Ki]

Dear @selfdefined app team,

the other day, I got aware of https://heyguys.cc, which source code can be found on https://github.com/williln/heyguys.cc
Since you collect … potentially problematic terms, I want to raise your awareness and ask @williln whether she wants to propose her idea to your dictionary (or link back?).

Hi, @Ryuno-Ki Thanks for reaching out. I think that the best way would be for us to craft a definition in our approach and include a link to that site in our "Further Reading" section.

A similar term is dude, so likely "guys" would adopt a similar structure as it has similar issues.

Would love if you're willing and able to open a PR up for that term! otherwise we'll add it to our list of terms to define.

Hi @tatianamac,

Hm, since I did not came up with that site, I'm not sure, whether I'd be able to fill all the blanks.
I could see some areas in the „dude” example, where I wouldn't know what to write (resp. copy-paste).

Can it be done collaboratively and iteratively?
Would love some help there from the community.

Hi @Ryuno-Ki . Yes, absolutely. You can either submit the definition as an issue or as a PR and we can help you along the way!

Also if you'd like, we have a Slack community as well.

Well, okay. Let's try #259

I'm avoiding Slack outside of work, since it turned into a time sink for me.
But thanks for the offer.

@Ryuno-Ki I’ve asked for feedback in Slack to bring some live into your PR :)

[Ryuno-Ki]

Thanks, that helped.
