Moreover, they usually exercise more and have fewer doctor visits.<\/p>\n<p>This is not to mention that people who display gratitude have better relationships with those around them. They make better managers, better friends, and better partners.<\/p>\n<p>So, the bottom line is that you should say thanks whenever you can.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there are many things you can be thankful for. You can thank someone who does you a certain service or shows you a kind act. But, even a kind word should merit a thank you.<\/p>\n<p>This is why there is the common expression &ldquo;thank you for the kind words.&rdquo;<br>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What does &ldquo;thank you for the kind words&rdquo; mean?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>&ldquo;Thank you for the kind words&rdquo; is something you say when you want to show gratitude to someone else who has said something nice to you.

You can use it anytime you want to thank someone for something they said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#dfdfde;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f9f9f8;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<p><strong>Fan:<\/strong> My God, I can&rsquo;t believe it&rsquo;s you.

It&rsquo;s why I do what I do. For the fans like you out there who keep me going.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<p>However, &ldquo;Thank you for your kind words&rdquo; is also a bit formal. So, you should use it with people you don&rsquo;t know, people you work with, or in situations that require you to act formally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#dfdfde;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f9f9f8;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<p><strong>Boss:<\/strong> Excellent job yesterday.

I was only doing my job.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s take a minute to see what makes it formal.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, there is no explicit subject in that expression. You don&rsquo;t use any pronouns or anything.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, there is no action or emotional verb here. And, as we mentioned before, one of the main differences between formal and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/catch-you-on-the-flipside\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">informal writing<\/a><\/strong> is that formal writing tries to take emotions out of the equation.<\/p>\n<p>It tries to do without action verbs, to toss away any subjective feelings, and to focus on the objective results in front of you and abstract them if possible.<\/p>\n<p>To understand this second point better, let&rsquo;s see how you can make the expression more informal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#dfdfde;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f9f9f8;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<p><strong>Boss:<\/strong> Excellent job yesterday.
