Two words often spoken in appreciation like a polite token during conversation. A halfhearted gesture delivered on the run a meaningless measure habitually done. Seething with attitude yet politically correct a shallow platitude just short of disrespect. A offhanded attempt to cite gratitude due and it reeks of contempt when someone snaps...thank you! Yet when spoken with love they represent much more a genuine feeling is the goal you strive for. And spoken from the heart they uplift someone's pride and a smile soon appears for they feel good inside.

Great overview. Love the lines "a meaningless measure habitually done" and "yet politically correct a shallow platitude just short of disrespect."

Sarcasm can be spoken with a sharp tongue even when using the nicest words. It's also kind to answer, "You're welcome," if it's sincere. Good points you've brought out, Emile.
