No it’s not. “Folks” means “people”, it has for more than a thousand years, and it’s used most often with the exact same intent. You’re making negative and incorrect assumptions.
- waych 3y agoBut it is lazy. Sorry if folks feel obligated to defend it.
- dahart 3y agoIf you say so, though I can’t say I’m super convinced by your opinion; it doesn’t seem like you’ve made a reasonable case or brought any evidence. To be fair, it is legitimately hard to argue with the dictionary and all of history, but I wish you good luck communicating with others! BTW, did you intend for that to be a self-own?
