| Nov 13, 2015 at 16:02 | comment | added | GreenMatt | @JonStory: Maybe I'm more modest than the average American (hmm, is that a modest comment?), but I agree that "Thanks for the praise" reads/sounds odd. I'd go with something like "Thank you for the kind words.", "Than you for highlighting my contribution.", or just "Thank you." | |
| Nov 13, 2015 at 15:54 | comment | added | Jon Story | I think it's mostly the "praise" I'm seeing the problem with. "Thanks for the praise" just sounds wrong to me. Possibly my inbuilt British preference towards modesty. "I saw the email you sent yesterday and wanted to thank you" seems more sincere, as it's more something you would say in person. A thankyou email should usually be informal (as if you were thanking them verbally) to carry sincerity, and I can't imagine the phrase "Thanks for the praise" passing my lips. | |
