Thank... for and thank to...
I know that we say: "Thnks to Goerge for helping me." Which means, thanks to someone for doing something .
While checking some sentences I found the following:
1. We didn't miss the plan. Thanks to David's fast driving .
Isn't it right that we should say : "Thanks for David's fast driving"?
Thanks
