correcting you for being wrong:
grat·i·tude/ˈgratəˌt(y)o͞od/
Noun: The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
and divinity being a real life virtue depends on if you are religious, i suppose, and believe that jesus christ or whoever blah blah etc etc
Not to be splitting hairs, but this definition seems a bit... I'll try to explain (the dictionary I used was an English-Hungarian one, so I can't rely on it here).
When someone says 'let me express my gratitude' or 'you have my gratitude', it does not seem to fit any of the definitions mentioned above. Rather, it seems to be an emotion felt towards someone.
I guess I'll have to check some other dictionaries, too, but this definition just doesn't seem to be right for me. I've heard this word so many times and never did it sound anything like it is described by these definitions.
