Hi,

I would suggest that usually 'connected to' is a physical connection in the sense that 'my computer is connected to a printer' and 'connected with' is usually used in the sense of 'in relationship' as in: Here are some useful grammar books connected with the topic we discussed.

Hi lxguy,

Your sentence should read "Thanks for such a clear explanation". If you really want to thank somebody you should make the effort of typing the word "thanks" properly. Abbreviations like "Tks" don't exist in English.
