Yeah, what do you mean by abusing it exactly? You mean mispronunciation or over-use of the word or something? o_O

Primarily the way it's spelled. People try to use it but sometimes (often) they just get it so horribly wrong, just like in the example I posted.

I just happen to appreciate good spelling, and I'm sure the OP is the same.

IMO the way 'abuse' is used here is ambiguous. I wouldn't even call it abuse in this case. Generally abuse = mistreatment (and usually in a harmful way).

Anyway, the essence of the meaning is still the same regardless of their misspelling. So, I wouldn't say this is people abusing the phrase, but rather the misspelling of ありがとうございます in English (only by some people though). =/ Just in my opinion.

It wouldn't hurt them to at least google the correct spelling, though... I can understand the OP's sentiments. It'd be as irritating as English speakers seeing misspelt English words/phrases, I'm sure.
