You’re welcome to use language however you want, regardless of what the algorithm decides.

I usually say "of course" or "absolutely" instead of "you're welcome" or "no problem."

Language changes over time, and that's the new etiquette. Though No Problem tends to feel less compulsory to me and so I feel more genuine saying it. Enjoy the world as it changes, because it'll change just as much if you don't enjoy it

Personally, I like to make an assessment of my feelings toward the favor done. If I feel put upon, I give an "mhmm" or "yup". My enthusiastic response is usually "no problem!"

"You're welcome" implies you can ask for favors anytime, day or night, and feels a bit too prostrate. I'll say it to some people, but it almost feels like an "I love you" type of response, and I reserve it for when I really mean it. I don't say the words "you're welcome" casually. I kind of say them like you would say something deeply truthful to someone

While we're at it, what's up with young people saying "bless you"? I kinda thought that one would have fallen off with people under 35

There’s also my press, “my pleasure,” or “glad I could help !” (If I mean it!)

i use it sarcastically in normal conversations with friends

i use it seriously when replying to my bosses in a corporate environment.

Where I am from, saying thank you doesn't warrant a response. It's certainly something I heard when I took a trip to New York though.

Time to adopt a jaunty wink, finger guns, and a hearty "You got it, sport!" as the default response. What could possibly go wrong?

Fifteen years ago when I was traveling around California and Nevada, I was weirded out at how sales people responded to "thank you". They either said "yup", "ok", or stayed silent. I assumed it was a regional thing.

In central and eastern Canada, we say it.

I don't care.

I'll give a barely imperceptable nod in return.

Anything more than that means you have inconvenienced me and I wish you nothing but Ill will for the rest of your life.

I use "you're welcome" in customer service, but nowhere else. It somehow always just sounds stilted and clumsy, even though it's something everyone else has said fine for years.

Otherwise I usually just say "of course", because I feel like it's the same sentiment but rolls off the tongue easier.

I think "you're welcome" is just too formal. I would say it to a customer, not my friend.

Hmm, honestly the word itself is uncommon now, at least where I live. I wonder if that's related.

To me, by default "welcome" means to a place. "You're welcome to the cookies" sounds archaic or British or something.
