Good to know. I thought 'guy' was for a 'man' but that plural 'guys' could be used for both (hearing so many girls say 'Hey guys' to her friends event a group a girls).

Thank you

Your right, its so commonly misused that even women address women only groups as "guys". But guys is plural of guy, so still male.

Ok ^^ English not being my native language and I learned with TV shows and conference talks, hence the mistake I suppose :D
