Default Thank you - You're welcome

Hi!

I would like to know if it is acceptable to say/write you welcome or welcome instead of you're welcome.

Does the level of formality change or is it simply wrong?

Thank you,
Mia

Default Re: Thank you - You're welcome

If you're responding to "thank you," the correct phrase is "you're welcome." "You welcome" is incorrect. Sometimes people in a hurry just reply "welcome", but it's not really correct, and definitely would only be used in conversation, not in writing.
