I hear you on the needlessly gendered words. I also try not to use words like "guys." Instead, I use words like "everyone" or just "you." They work just fine in most instances. On rare occasions, I sneak in a "you all." Same content without the southern sound.

I'm pretty sure I sound like even more of a hick than usual if I try to say "you all" over just admitting defeat and saying "ya'll".
