I wasn't aware of any preference either. Perhaps an idiomatic/linguistic
thing? Like maybe "ditto" sounds weird in some regions. It's the type of
detail that really doesn't deserve much attention, if you ask me.

Have we considered the option of asking advice from the FSF about this?
Then we'd have a definitive answer which we can record as well (put that
in our CS guide, perhaps in gdbint.texi or in the Wiki). I've asked
a couple of questions already this year, so I feel a little hesitant
to ask myself (it's silly I know, just can't help it).
