Dear Queenie,
When someone pays me a compliment I always say, “Thank you.” My wife thinks that is not enough and you should say more, like if I tell her I enjoyed a meal she cooked, she thanks me and then goes on about how she is glad I liked it.
Queenie, is she right?—Compliment Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
You are both right. “Thank you” is a sufficient response to a compliment, but there is nothing wrong with adding a few appreciative words.
