Thread Name: BS: Do you say 'You're welcome'?
Subject: RE: BS: Do you say 'You're welcome'?
About ten years ago, I noticed a lot of people started responding with "my pleasure" and you even hear that on tv interviews now, instead of "you're welcome".
Thank you, Mr. Big Expert for being on the show. My pleasure, Mr. Interviewer.
When this really is obvious, is the when the subject is tragic. The automatic "My Pleasure" comes across as, Oh, Really? You were pleased to talk about this disaster?
