As a form of address. "Hey, people" is ... well, nearly abrasive. (Envision a waitron walking up to a mixed table of 10.)Sure, in that limited context. In such a circumstance, I believe the phrase "ladies and gentlem[ae]n" is usually adequate and equally gender neutral.
Yes, cause Hooters waitresses are gonna use that phrasing all day long. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R. Ashworth Baylink jra () baylink com Designer The Things I Think RFC 2100 Ashworth & Associates http://baylink.pitas.com 2000 Land Rover DII St Petersburg FL USA #natog +1 727 647 1274
