I left out something;

Thankyou kindly. That's fabulous. Now could you two go PM each_other or start your own thread, so you can pollute it with your meaningless, conspirative talk?

Megan is the grammar queen.
However, I'm pretty sure that "thank you" is perfectly acceptable.

This was actually brought up in class the other day, when we had to write letters expressing gratitude to the companies/people that employed us for work experience.
I'm not one hundred percent sure on this, but one is a noun, and one is two words consisting of a verb, and a pronoun.
For example:
'I would like to thank you.' -verb + pronoun.
'A thankyou note.' -noun...hang on...that might even be an adjective...:\

It sounded perfectly plausible at the time...
Ahhh...

When you want to use the phrase "thank you" (or any other phrase that isn't typically a noun or adjective, really) as a noun (or adjective) instead, you should hyphenate it (not smash it together) - "thank-you."

Ex: John received a thank-you note from his friend.

"Thank you kindly" is perfectly acceptable and completely correct, since the phrase is used as a verb.

Thank you. My dictionary says it shouldn't be hyphenated, but I think I'm much better off listening to you.

I believe this to be another US vs. Brittish type thingy.

Oh, good. So now I have a reason to be semi-wrong.

You don't hyphenate it when it's used as a verb like it was at the beginning of this post... only when it's used as a noun or an adjective. "Thank you, Megan." vs. "A thank-you from Megan."

Whoops.
