Thanks, Rhonda, that makes sense.
Someone else mentioned "No problem." I have "no problem" with that phrase
when it's really used to me that there's no problem. What I can't stand is hwo people use it in place of "you're welcome" (in response to "thank you") when there was no problem involved. Because then it sounds like it really was a problem, say, to tell someone what time it was or compliment someone's outfit.
