[Spellyans] "Thank you"

[Craig Weatherhill]

I'm very cautious about preferring a word or phrase simply because it  
outnumbers the others in the (extant) texts.

By extension, we should all be using Kemmyn, because they between 55%  
and 90% of all speakers (according to whose fairy-tale you hear - and  
they're all Grimm!).  God forbid!
