yeah. i found the "ta" thing confusing when i first encountered it. i was taught to use "ty" for "thank you." i could understand "tx" for "thanks," but assumed for some time that "ta" was somehow a typeo. after seeing it used for the 5th or 6th time or so, however, i began to suspect that it wasn't a coincidence... laugh
