I was compelled moments ago to declare my intention to make "ta" the crossover BrE -> AmE word of 2010. (http://bit.ly/8k1TdY) It is the perfect way to say "thank you" on Twitter, much nicer than the clunky TY. I urge you to join me in making '10 the year of "ta"
Incidentally,none of the examples given present "ta" in its usage as "thank you."

Mark: I'll sign up to that. I think if I could magically make one BrE word native to those around me it would be not balls-up, nor even minger but ta. If it takes Tw@ter to achieve that, so be it.
