Bah je suis pas une flèche en anglais, mais je crois que si "your welcome", "you're welcome", "u're welcome" ou "u welcome" est un faux-ami, c'est parce qu'il a 2 sens possibles : bienvenue, et de rien (en fonction du contexte). D'ailleurs, dire "bienvenue" pour "de rien" est une façon de dire : "t'inquiète, tu seras toujours le bienvenue" ;-)
Que les anglophiles m'infirment si je suis dans l'erreur sur ce HS...
On pourrait faire un topic cours d'anglais pour aider ceux qui maîtrisent moins que les autres ; nope ?
Tenez, c'est pas très instructif, mais ça a le mérite de pousser le bouchon :
