What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

J.K. Rowling said that 65% of people in Britain are transgender. Where did she come up with that statistic?

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

How terrible are we at making future predictions of like technology?

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
