Thanks as singular or plural

I think you can use both. Thought I've heard both versions.Normally I would use "goes". How about using " Many thanks to someone .."

[nq:1]Hi, what is the correct form: "many thanks go to someone" or "many thanks goes to someone" ? I'm not sure if "thanks" can be considered singular or plural.[/nq]
It's plural. If it were singular, you yourself would have said "much thanks".
If you say "Much thanks goes to someone", then it's singular.

It's plural:
"Our thanks go to him."
"Those are the thanks I get."

Which is what the late Mr Shakespeare wrote. "For this relief much thanks"; Hamlet, Act 1 scene 1, if I remember correctly.

[nq:1]For me, it's plural; but why not leave "go(es)" out all together: "Many thanks to someone"?[/nq]
I would usually say plural. However, if it was a shortened version of something like "An expression of many thanks ...", it would be singular.

Yes, because then "expression" is the relevant noun.

Well, most of the time, but we haven't seen the whole sentence. If it's "An expression of many thanks was sent to the donor", absolutely right.
If it is "An expression of many thanks, as were sent in several recordings spoken in several langauges, merci, todah, gracias" then Ian is wrong and "thanks" still takes the plural ver

[nq:2]Well, most of the time, but we haven't seen the ... is wrong and "thanks" still takes the plural verb "were".[/nq]
[nq:1]"Thanks" always takes the plural verb. As I intimated above, the verb becomes singular in situations where the subject of ... is singular. Your "sentence", which is only part of a sentence, makes me uneasy. Would you like to complete it?[/nq]

Since "many thanks" and other related expressions are rather fixed expressions, I don't think there is much to quibble about in US usage. Except in rather formal writing, the singular will probably not be questioned.
