To say “I thank you” requires but little more effort than to say “Thanks,” and it will be received as a more sincere token of thankfulness.
Got to
This inelegant expression is often employed where must would serve the purpose better. “This work has got to be done.” Say, “Must be done.”
Hangs on
“The cold weather hangs on.” Better, “The cold weather continues.”
Under the Weather
“Are you well?” “No; I have been quite under the weather.” Substitute sick or ill, for the colloquial expression under the weather.
Again, Against
Again is often erroneously used for against; as, “He leaned again the tree for support.” Say, “He leaned against the tree for support.”
