"I guess i'm used to get ignored" is this sentence correct? and can you please make it more better? thank you!
"I guess I'm used to being ignored."
i always got confused with this. some people use "Your Welcome", some also use "You're welcome". so which one should we use anyway?
"You're welcome" = You are welcome. This is what we say after someone says "Thank you."
"Your welcome" is only used in examples like the following:
- Please leave: you have overstayed your welcome.
- Your warm welcome made me feel happy.
- Your welcome mat is dirty; I think you should wash it.
