People who think "commonsense" is a word ...

I'd like to suggest "loose" as in "I want to loose weight"

Because in English nouns normally have a lower-case initial letter.

What about Mother Theresa ?

I could of added that pet hate, plus others.

I don't think there's anything wrong with "thankyou", really. It's not technically correct, but it's perfectly understandable. "Noone" is more difficult to defend. "No-one" is fine though.

These are just compound words. How do you feel about "anymore" or, even worse, "albeit"? I still remember reading that word out loud as a kid and rhyming it with the German word "arbeit". I couldn't decypher "all be it" at all and just assumed it was a completely separate word, which it is I suppose, as its definition is "even though" rather than "all be it". But then I suppose you can't define a word as itself. "Thankyou" couldn't be defined as "thank you".

What about "just desserts"? You see that all the time.

Good question. I think you would be a prime example of a low IQ cretin.

Compared to your tedious "I've got a Nu-Lab educashun - see how many exclamation points and new tags I can type" posts, even CyberCretin is rapier-like.

"Thank you" comes across to me as a sincere message of gratitude.

"Thankyou" comes across as "whatever, luser".

It always seems to appear with:

- "Be a patient patient thankyou" in doctor's surgeries where the receptionist is particularly rude

- "The trains are not running today, thankyou" being the contempt of the railways

- "I don't know why we can't provide you with the service you have paid for. Is there anything else I can help you with today? No? Thankyou." being the contempt of the call centres

It is half way between "Thankyouhaveanicedaymissingyoualreadynext" and "oh thankyouverymuch you git".
