| Dear CP,thank you from the bottom of my heart.Now I am sure I am right and can tell my students the truth.I've been teaching Junior English for 14 years and I clearly remember that they testers ever used "That's all right/OK" as a response to "Thank you.".They asserted it was British English.That is not shown in your explainations to "That's all right/OK".Is that inappropriate or wrong? |

Yes, native speakers sometimes do answer "Thank you" with "That's all right" or "That's OK" instead of "You're welcome." You can also say, depending upon the circs.:
Don't mention it.
Think nothing of it.
Any time.
Not at all.
My pleasure.
Happy to help.
No problem.
