In the wikipedia article it suggests that everyone uses all the systems situationally but seems to have a dominant one. I don’t believe you that you never use the visual/auditory/kinasthetic phrases, happy to accept if you say that you rarely use them.

The fact that I will be observing myself would probably influence the results. It would probably be better to e.g. look at my older LW comments. So, here are the results from my 10 recent comments (excluding comments in this articles):
Well, okay, this seems to point toward a visual system.

If the canvas is innate the population-wide use of perception-related words should be stable. I checked that on the n-gram viewer and found some unexpected results: https://twitter.com/Gunnar_Zarncke/status/1575992631750168590
