Yep.  I hit the "report" link an hour or two ago.  So the moderators are aware.

Many other forums don't allow ANY posts with LINKS until AFTER the member has posted a certain number of posts.

This guy has one post and will never log in again.  He got exactly where he wanted, to post one link then move on, never to be heard from again.

"Guy" in the US is a gender-neutral generic plural form of "you" (which is itself both singular and plural).

Moderators have already removed the post.  Unfortunately, you replied to it and copied it in totality, so moderators should probably remove that also.  Or at least remove the link that the spammer dropped on our forum.

No prob, I deleted the indian.

@NotHereToPlayGames and @VistaLover. This is because we don't study the US variant here, in Europe.

We have the British variant, like in the rest of the World. I'm sure @Dave-H will confirm, thanks.

I mean Canada , Australia, New Zealand , South Africa etc.

There's a reason people say : British Empire, Great Britain. 

And US language is only in the US.

P.S. Also, of course, we have the proper English spelling , and when I saw @msfntor spells "color", I was

surprised and had (still have?) my doubts he is French. There are *at least* two reasons for us to spell colour, the first one is 

above, the second is - in French we have a very similar spelling ! "couleur", in this case .

So maybe he was/is a (poorly) trained spy ? lol.

Here I know (at least) two people with absolutely nice'n'proper English - @Dave-H and @win32.

In standard (normal, classic) English  :

1 - Hey guys = hey mates , hey friends (males) , hey dudes (dude is from the French word, btw).

2 - Hey girls means hey girls (females) ! lol

All is simple.

There was no need to turn this into an English lesson.

'Guys' is definitely one of the many Americanisms that polluted entered British English a long time ago, but until relatively recently was only used for men. Groups of women being called 'guys' (often by women members of the group) is now common though.
Personally I consider that to be slang!

Anyway, having just hypocritically added to it, back on topic now please!

I noticed that chrome 111 still works on windows 10 1507, no need for -no-sandbox trick there.

@Sergiaws : Besides being OT for this thread , you chose the wrong "share" code from imgur; should've been "BBCode (Forums)", not "Embed in HTML" ...
