| Jan 12, 2017 at 19:34 | comment | added | David K | "No worries, it's on me!" would work in U.S. English. (Most people in the U.S. would understand this means you will pay, not that you have already literally dropped a piece of pizza in your own lap.) | |

| Jan 12, 2017 at 8:50 | comment | added | Fida Hasan | Yes, I agree, "No worries, my treat" is very modest. I aus, i found it more different, they preferably use 'free', just it. So, things vary with culture! | |
| Jan 12, 2017 at 8:38 | comment | added | Martin Bonner supports Monica | As a native British English speaker, "I will sponsor" sounds wrong. "I will pay" (although that's a bit too overt about the money), or "my treat" would be more likely. | |

| Jan 12, 2017 at 7:26 | comment | added | Nathan Tuggy | Please edit to include an explanation of why this is correct; answers without explanation do not teach the patterns of the language well. | |
