A minute's silence, a moment of silence or a minute of silence?
I need to know which of these three options is the most used in English (I can imagine that it is different in the UK and in the US). Moreover I have also heard "a moment of silent reflection".
Thanks!

They are all used just as much as each other! 'A moment of Silence' is probably used in that moment, like in a ceremony. Like it would be said as an instruction 'a moment of silence' and then everyone would do it. Whereas, 'a minute silence' would be in the sentence: 'let's join for a minutes silence'.

a minute of silence would be for mourning and a moment of since would be for a pause to reflect, i'd say?

I take no credit - it's a handy tool from google :) But I'm glad you like it.

U are awesome, Michael.
I used to do the "exact match" search simply on Google.com, now I've learned something so cool from u: books.google.com.
So I have a chart showing me the tendency of words with more details.
Thank you so much!
