Does anyone else find it interesting that nobody ever refers to a single person as a folk? It’s always “folks”

that is interesting. though archaic, it's still used in the southern us...and probably elsewhere. ex⋮ "you folk ain't from 'round here"

They say this to a single person even? Sounds like “you guys” to me

oof. replied in a hurry. interesting. yes, i am pretty sure the singular (in use) is fellow or friend etc but yes both folk and folks are plural nouns. food for thought. thx
