emphasis on the comma. are you really stopping to think that you are telling the person no, but thanks anyway. or do you just say no thanks all in one quick breath?

grammer lesson doesnt bother me...I do know where quotation marks belong, but it is funny how I made that typo while asking this kind of question...lol.

I usually say, "No, but thanks for asking."

If you say it with emphasis then it is something you do not want any part of sorta like "would you like some of my mystery meat stew?" and there are flies all over this rotten pot of meat and veggies or "would you like some malaria?"...that is a big NO THANKS.
But then say someone offers you a chocolate and you are on a diet...you really want it but you know it would derail all your efforts then you may say "thank you no" a bit more politely.

Actually you should say "No, thanks?"
The quotation marks should come affter the question mark, not before.
If you don't like my grammer lesson, just tell me "no, thanks."

I don't mence words, so I guess you could say I would "No Thanks", not considering if there is a comma or not, lol.
