to hate the word 'ta'

[GnomeDePlume]

especially when I see it written in an email from my boss?

Every time my boss writes 'ta' instead of 'thank you' it makes it makes my eyeballs itch.

There is just something so dismissive of 'ta'. It isnt a proper thank you, it is something small children might say when given a biscuit. It isnt the response I expect from my professionally qualified boss when I send a piece of work.

At home. Got it now. I laughed at "text addict"!

Yous is a brilliant word - it's just the equivalent of vous so pretty handy. I never say it, of course, because I'd be judged but it's really handy.
And I've always understand (well, since the last thread on this subject) that Ta is a word in its own right and isn't a shortening of Thank you.

I sometimes say 'yous' when I'm with other Irish people as I find the English language's lack of a collective you to be a bit annoying. My Mum says 'ye'. She's properly old skool.

Yous is Scottish too - West coast I think (in that I am East coast and don't say it).

Yous are gonnae get it.

It's very Liverpool as well, but that's from Irish, of course.

Ta comes from the Danish word for thanks. Which makes more sense than saying cheers.

A client said "Cheerie!" to me as I left the house today, which is a variation on cheerio or cheeriebye, which always make me smile.
