Being asked to use "folks" in Australia was frankly bizarre. It's not a word anyone uses over there and would be considered a severe Americanism. Pretty sure that suggestion came from our Texas staff, not the Californians.

Fortunately, Austin isn't representative of the majority of Texas, or America. It's like Portland, but with better weather.

(Just last week I learned that "Keep Austin Weird" predates "Keep Portland Weird" by five years.)
