What happened to "You're welcome!" as a response to "Thank You"? It's not even included in the canned answers on an apple watch. Have we as a society abandoned it? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I hear "No problem" far more often.

Actually “no problem” implies that the thing would normally be a problem, but that you are negating that.

It’s like saying “No visible bruising”. There’s the implication something happened that might have caused bruising.

    Disagree, no problem is saying that what you are thanking me for was not a problem for me to do.

    Honestly, I think this perception is the disconnect between millennials thinking it’s better and boomers thinking it’s rude - two different perspectives of what it means.

    Also, don’t ackchyually me on an opinion.
