thankyous
Words of gratitude
Thankyous is the plural of thankyou, a noun form of the expression used to acknowledge gratitude.
While *thank you* as two words remains standard, the single-word noun thankyou (and its plural) appears in informal contexts: I've received so many thankyous for the gift.
Some style guides prefer *thank-yous* with a hyphen, but all three variants—thankyous, thank-yous, and thank yous—are widely used.
