Reading some forum pages about the meaning of the phrase never mind, I realized that there's a difference in usage of it, between American and British English. What's the difference in meaning of this phrase in American English and British English?
Answer
I'd say there really isn't much difference in usage between American English and British English. In both dialects, it can be used to mean "it's alright", and dismissively to mean something like "shut up, I'm annoyed". A lot of it depends on tone of voice.
