Anytime

[Rachel Adams]

Hello.
Do you use "Anytime" in BrE instead of "You are welcome"?
For example, "Thank you so much for your help." "Anytime."

Yes.

I prefer it with two words, too.

And be careful of the difference between every day and everyday. A lot of Americans confuse them. (Maybe a lot of British, too.)

Thank you. ''Everyday'' is used as an adjective if I am not mistaken. For example, ''Practise everyday English.''

 

[Rachel Adams]

Yes.

It is not a formal expression. Am I right? Is ''Not at all'' more formal than ''You are welcome''? Which of the three expressionsdo native speakers use most of the time?

"Anytime" is informal. Also "no worries" (Aust).
"You are welcome" is most common.
"It's a pleasure" is formal.

What do you mean by 'formal'?

Are you talking about what somebody would use when, say, the task is part of their job? If so, they would not say Any time or It's a pleasure.

Yes, if you mean practicing English that is commonly used everyday. But if you are referring to the practice of English on a daily basis, it should be "Practice English everyday".

It's probably a typo, but it should be "Practise English every day". (I've used the BrE spelling for the verb "practise" but I believe "practice" is used as a verb in AmE.)

No, I was not talking about such situations.
