0Hi Fandorin,02br

00Bit off-topic but why did you use 'lads' at the end there? This may not be appropriate.0-

00I'd say that "everyone/everybody" and "all" are appropriate.0-

So, I want to show sincere gratitude and think that here we are might be friends. Isn't it appropriate in this way or you mean in grammatical way?
So, I get real mean of that word. Yes, I think it mayn't be appropriate.

Hi Fandorin,

The possible problem with "lads" is that it applies to males only.

Yes, I figured it out. Thank you.

So I see - you snuck in an edit after my post. Anway, while "guys" is often "gender neutal," "lads" is not.

Thanks, all!
Thanks everyone!
Y'all are as awesome as possum!

I imply that is not appropriate because used for describing a young man whose behaviour is characteristic of male adolescents, especially in being rowdy, macho, or immature. At least Collins' Dictionary thinks so.
