The word "thank" is related to "think" through the Old English word "thanc," which meant thought or gratitude. Over time, the meanings and spellings of these words evolved, but they both share the common root of expressing a sense of gratitude or acknowledgment.

No more than I'm related to either person -- and I can't imagine why anyone would think they ARE related.

My thought was NO WAY and this is a confirmation of that. Thank you...
