When you thank anyone in English language, the standard response is, 'Don't mention'

The response to "How do you do?" is "How do you do too?"

Also, three hearty cheers are: Hip, Hip, Hooray
Not : Hip, Hip, Hip, Hooray!


English language, granted, is not our first language, but we are constrained, if we must communicate the intended, to follow the rules.
