Subject: you're welcome/toy's for sale

   A couple of thoughts:

   1. In addition to "You're welcome" evaporating, "Thank you" is losing
   ground to "Thanks," which seems more impersonal.

   2. I am constantly finding apostrophes used to indicate plurals, both
   in the northeast US and in South Florida. I think this has a lot to do
   with some people's annoying habit of using all caps.
