Thanks everyone. This board is a great resource for folks (refs and nonrefs, alike) to git a little learnin'.

I shouldn't even respond, but I really didn't expect to be flamed by some jacka## for referring to all of you on this board as "guys"? It was meant as a gender-neutral term...sheesh.

Do you always try to blame someone by using derogatory words when you’re the reflection of your own grammar?

Grow up. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines "guy" as follows: guy (noun): "used in plural to refer to the members of a group regardless of sex "

Its not worth the effort bellnier! We all knew what your reference was.

IMO, continue to use appropriate words in your post.

But not all money is good money, and not all word definitions are proper ones.

Although myself and others knew the meaning of your post, your reference of the word guy's (guy; noun a: MAN, FELLOW b: PERSON) was posted with reference to the group being all male.

The dialect use of "you guy’s" a plural pronoun, is generally regarded as colloquial and non-standard usage when referring to a group of males and females.

However, you should use proper professional diction when referring to a group consisting of both sexes (people) or by addressing such a group of skilled basketball officials using; ladies/gentlemen, guys/gals, men/women, males/females.

It goes beyond using good grammar, proper spelling and appropriate diction in all your communications; you should also write to the point of being professional.

You posted as if there wasn’t a single female official in your thoughts as we all know it is a male dominant field.

As I said before, Johnny, "us gals" don't need your defense. Your inappropriate language in other posts gives your opinions a complete lack of credibility. Please don't bother being "gallant". We are all big girls on this board, and we can take care of ourselves.

Chuck -- this post isn't helpful or on-topic. It's just extraneous humor. Try to exercise a little self-control. Please.

Whoa. Time to back off, Johnny. Take a deep breath, count to 10, hit the back button and read a different thread.

Are you kidding or was the above a true reflection of your ignorant feelings threatening me with words?

I do not know you nor would I want to and yes, you seem like a person with a low IQ.

You may want to try your own suggestion of taking a deep breath but continue counting indefinitely.

Have a nice day.

And like I previously posted before it was unfairly and discriminately removed in favor of your gender...
