Brian Horn i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My friends and supporters, I cannot find any other word(s) to express my gratitude, appreciation, and love for you that the words thank you do not cover, so please accept it my with deepest sincerity. Have you ever wondered why the words thank you are so powerful? They are two small words that express gratitude or appreciation for something; a grateful feeling or an acknowledgement (Dictionary.com). The word thank derives from Old English pancian, meaning to give thanks, which in turn derives from the Proto-German term thankojan, which also spawned the Middle German term danken, meaning to thank. The English term thank you was shortened from the phrase I thank you (Retrieved from answers.com)
