Sources for "You're welcome" as a response to "thank you"
[edit]I was doing a bit of research about "you're welcome" as a response to "thank you", but I wasn't sure if a current source in the article (more specifically this Huffpost article about how the "you're welcome" phrase isn't really widely used anymore in non-sarcastic settings). I went and did a quick search on Google Scholar for 'thank you "you're welcome"', and I was wondering if some of these sources could be used to help mark a reference that declares that "you're welcome" is used as a valid response phrase for "thank you". It looks like there are many sources that prove "you're welcome" as a response to "thank you", so I am also unsure if a reference would be needed, though I am still inclined to believe that a reference might be helpful for that specific point. Either that or maybe that reference itself could be used to back up that point. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 11:04, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
