@Setanta,

Is that a demonstration of English arrogance?
1) I did not make any vote, that is your arrogant assumption.
2) There is no mention that it is 'English language' in the original post, hence my joke.

Since it was asked, "Do native speakers..." on what seems to be an English language forum, it should be obvious that the person was asking which word or phrase is commonly or most often used by people speaking English.

It is apparent that you do not know the meaning of arrogant.
