みんな vs. みな
Is there any difference between みんな and みな and their usage? If you want to call everyone would you say みんなさん or みなさん?

みんな・・・・・・口語。普通の言い方。
皆さん・・・・・・・口語だが、丁寧な言い方。教室で先生がeveryoneをさして言うときや、政治の演説など公式な会合で使います。
皆・・・・・・・・・・・書面語。昭和の初期くらいまでは、そう言う言い方もありましたが、今は口頭では全く使いません。
みんなさん・・・そのような言い方はしません。
なので、普通に使うなら「みんな」、会合では「皆さん」がよいでしょう。
