You have to speak English to say "Your Welcome!"



American English. "You're welcome" is not used generally in the UK. Over there they just say, "thanks" or "thank you", "hanx", or some such.


BTW It's "You're welcome.". Short for "You are welcome.".



See my post above whereby if you are going to correct someones spelling or grammar on a message board (a frickin message board) then you had better not have a mistake in your posts.  Such as the two periods I highlighted in your post.

No, they were correct. I was quoting two complete sentences in sentences. See Strunk, "Elements of American Style".

If I'm out with a girl that I like and she thanks me for the movie, dinner, or whatever, I will say "you're welcome" or "it's my pleasure".  And I mean it  sincerely.

However, I don't always like it when guys hold the door open for me. To me that's kind of like saying "I'm more man than you". It especially bothers me when another guy holds the door open for me and my date, if that's the case.

One thing that really annoys me is when I exit using the right-hand door and someone else desides to come in that same door and they say "thanks" to me as if I'm opening the door for THEM. How stupid is that? I'm sorry, but that's not the time to say "thanks". If anything they should be saying "excuse me" for coming in the wrong door.
