Thanks for the survey!
At the end it thanks people by saying "Dankeschon". However, the
right spelling is "Dankeschön" or "Dankeschoen".
"Schön" means 'beautiful', where "schon" means 'already'. (My
German etymological dictionary says that historically "schon"
derives from "schön", through a generalization of phrases like
"alles ist schön bereit" 'everything is beautifully/well/thoroughly
prepared', understood as 'everything is already prepared'.
Maybe I tend to use this adjective more than other people.
