add e.g. of gender-neutral language

Tiny suggestion to include an example of an acceptable alternative to 'Hey guys,'.

My thinking is this'll make it just a bit easier for people to use inclusive language. 'folks' is just my personal go-to.  Can't hurt anyways, right?

Be mindful in the language you choose. As an example, in an environment that is heavily male-dominated, posts that start 'Hey guys,' can come across as unintentionally exclusive. It's just as easy, and more inclusive to use gender neutral language in those situations. Be mindful in the language you choose.
