Perhaps your guys ARE not gender-specific?
What a snowy waste of singular impersonality.
Strange world you live in.

The peope over there perhaps were linguistically nostalgic
to the lalguages of the "old countries"?
The English "you" has no plural, 
while the Dutch "jij/je/jou" has the plural "jullie"
which originated from "je lui", "je lieden", 
meaning "you people" or "you guys".

Anyway [do you say "anyways", by-the-way[s?]?], this is an international 
NG, were only the Javascript language is on topic, so better not use local 
slang, and[/or] clearly state your location in the signature.
