Talk:thankyou

Macquarie English Dictionary 1982 Jacaranda Press has Thankyou as one word, not two so it is NOT a 'common misspelling of the two words "thank You", rather it is an "alternative" spelling. Both are entirely correct. 203.15.73.29 03:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * For the noun or for the interjection? --EncycloPetey 04:32, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

The Oxford English Dictionary does not have "Thankyou" as an alternative spelling in it meaning it is incorrect. "Thank-you" is mentioned as an alternative but no "Thankyou" (188.221.9.3 20:29, 19 November 2011 (UTC))


 * The OED isn't God. We have many legitimate words the OED doesn't, such as chemicals and minerals. The respected Chambers Dictionary does include thankyou. Equinox ◑ 20:30, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

"Thank you" is a standardised English phrase, not a chemical or a mineral. It is incorrect to use it as one word. It is two separate words.


 * You are wrong. It is in Chambers. In any case, this dictionary is descriptivist, not prescriptivist. Equinox ◑ 20:38, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

You are wrong. Or shall I say youarewrong
