In today’s global and increasingly inclusive workplace, language matters more than ever. One common phrase that’s often overlooked is the use of “guys” to address groups of people—especially in meetings, emails, or presentations. While it might feel casual and friendly, it’s not always the most professional or inclusive choice, particularly in international or mixed-gender contexts.
In our latest video at Higher English, we explore what makes certain expressions more appropriate than others in professional settings. You’ll learn several natural alternatives to “guys” that help you sound more respectful and polished—without losing warmth. Mastering this kind of subtle language awareness is part of becoming a confident communicator in English, especially if you’re working in cross-cultural teams.
