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".Comment

"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".My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
