Thank you kindly
Is this expression correct? I see it being used a lot, especially by non-native speakers of English but for some reason, it sounds quite unpleasant to my ears.
Do native speakers use it?
Thank you!

I hear it once or twice a year but don't say it myself. It has an old-fashioned, courtly ring to it.

Hardly. I've only heard it used by a few people from the southern states of the USA, where people use a few other stilted words and speak in distinctive, southern accents.
