When did people stop saying "You're welcome"?
I know when. It was just about the time they adopted the popular term "No problem" or the even more annoying "Not a problem."
Maybe I'm old school, or, just plain old, but I am not going to join the crowd on this one. It sounds tacky and crude. I'm certainly not part of the Hoidy Toidy set, but I'm not willing to let these simpletons undermine the fabric of society by replacing our basic customs and have good manners fall by the wayside.
I don't imagine "You're welcome" will completely fade away when it can still be used sarcastically when someone omits the still fashionable "Thank you." Let us hope not anyhow.
