Don't mention it means You're welcome and it's the phrase that fits into the context here.

Hi! I normally prefer using the expression" Oh! no need to mention it" instead of saying " Don't mention it" Am I right in using that expression? If yes, which expression is more favorable to the listener? I highly appreciate your elaboration on that...best regards |

'Don't mention it' (= you're welcome) is a fixed phrase, so it is not acceptable to modify it. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
