  • Definitely "indeed". I don't know if I've ever said "my goodness".

    I don't think I've ever said 'Indeed'.  It's slightly more likely for me to have said 'My Goodness'.

    I've never said either of those (as an utterance).

    I don't know but they don't mean the same thing.  I use both in general but use My goodness more often when speaking.

    Who said they mean the same thing? That wasn’t even implied in the question.
