It depends on who you’re talking to. Many people don’t care about saying “guys” as it’s so universal. However, if you’re unsure or meeting new people, that’s where you’d likely want to change it up.

I use Excel and all my notes from the years. But I would love to have/create a community site/app like Wikipedia for all to add notes and information and have the ability to utilize. It’s a giant project and I’m a basic developer so if you know any devs that garden, have them reach out to me or post on here and maybe we can get something started. :)
