From RFC edit

"From: WT:RFC"

The parts of speech seem to be confused here. The first definition of the interjection is clearly for the noun. The expression "thanks to" is a set phrase and so should be moved to a separate page and linked to. "Thanks to" is also a preposition, not a noun, so the comment about the translations being wrong does not apply; having said that, translations of the noun might have been added to this section, so they should all really be checked. — Paul G 16:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Affirmative to an offer edit

Just as please reads

Used as an affirmative to an offer. —May I help you? —(Yes,) please.

A: Would you like to come to the cinema with us tonight? B: Thanks. That would be great. --Backinstadiums (talk) 11:09, 30 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

much thanks edit

Much thanks is archaic, surviving through our familiarity with For this relief much thanks (the sentinel Francisco in Hamlet), and now only used humorously. --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:41, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Pronunciation edit

Why there is not a reference to the so commonly heard pronunciation tanks (with T instead of TH)? --Manfariel (talk) 19:24, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
