[QUOTE="Fran, post: 233397, member: 3"] I must admit to using "no problem" instead of your welcome many times. I guess the response never struck me as poor. I probably won't change it anytime soon. The insinuation is that it was no problem to help you. Now, "well" vs. "good" drives me nuts and of course, the "huh" instead of "pardon me" or "excuse me". I usually don't answer if the kids say "huh?". I hate being grunted at. I'm sure everyone uses something that annoys another in their everyday speaking. I'm grateful if someone acknowledges a "thank you" with courtesy so I probably put this verbal pet peeve in a basket D. [/QUOTE]
