at least it doesn't say "thankyou". I am just about ready to attempt a citizen's arrest on the next lamebrain at work or in my industry who insists on mindlessly aping what some fool started in ignorance. Giving a thank-you is acceptable; saying thankyou isn't. Neither are many of the other words and phrases which mascarade as business communication (oxymoron?).

Stopped at this wonderfully charming and unique roadside produce stall in Julatten today.
