<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: navy;">I have noticed recently what I consider a curious phenomenon. I
hear it almost daily where I work, and I wonder if anyone else has noticed it.
I refer to the words "thank you" sounding very close to the words "think
you." It seems I hear it only from younger females less than 30 years of
age. Any ideas?</span></p>
