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:

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

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

In my experience, British people are fat, ugly and arrogant. Why is it and can it be changed?

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

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

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

Were knights’ lances practical weapons, or were they just for sports?

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