I just finished reading this thread. Here's to Ambrose Bierce and to Larry for enlightening those of us heretofore unenlightened.

And a thanks to Merry Andrew for picking up the mantle.

More, please.

In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, intelligence is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office.

Roberta, Have you used "a thanks" properly? AHD indicates "thanks" is a plural. Thanks.

(Sorry, I have no idea to avoid to post such an OT.)

Oristar, You're right. You caught a mistake. I should have said "a thank you" or "thanks" without the "a." Oooops.
