"Don't Sweat It" - 02-23-2011, 05:37 AM

A common expression in the U.S. that many foreign speakers don't know until awhile of studying/living abroad is "Don't Sweat It". It means don't worry about it or maybe "no problem".

Examples include: Brian say's, "I'm really sorry for walking into you. I was paying attention. I'm so sorry". Rob replies, "Hey man, don't sweat it. I've done it so many times myself".

"Don't sweat the test tomorrow Jane, it's only one test"


Any native English speakers in Japan notice the use of "Famous" by new English learners? It's not necessarily incorrect, but just not how we would use it in the states.
