Normally pronounced and spelled as "no prob" - how should the erroneous/very rare "no probs" indicate that?

This is neither rare nor erroneous. It's just another version of the same thing. Actually, I can't ever remember someone saying 'no prob', and have heard and used 'no probs' many times.--Dmol 20:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
The plural form is more common in the UK and, I believe, in Oz. (So definition should probably be "no problems") SemperBlotto 21:14, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- Pretty sure this is an expression originating in Austrailia that has become current in the UK over the last thirty years. The definition should certainly be 'no problems'. Moglex 18:58, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Connel, I have never in my life heard the expression "no prob", whereas "no probs" I have heard countless times, and used more than once myself. I'm not saying that "no prob" is not a real expression; if you say it is, then I believe you. As SemperBlotto and Moglex point out, it's probably a regional thing, but could you maybe refrain from assuming that, just because a word isn't in your vocabulary, it's "very rare/erroneous"?

- I think this is regional because I've only heard "no probs" when traveling. Otherwise, like Connel, I've only heard "no prob". Rod (A. Smith) 23:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
