>Has anyone else noticed that "You're welcome" has been supplanted by "No problem"? You say thank you and they say no problem. When and why did this happen?
There was an article about it in either Boston Globe or some other publication some weeks ago. Makes no sense to say "No problem" when you say "Thank you."
Another thing I noticed in business communication is that instead of saying "Regards" or "Sincerely" people now write "Thank you." For what? :) WTF.
