More often than not
Usually. Most of the time.
It’s a slightly more advanced way of saying usually, and it’s very common in both spoken and written English.
Example:
Imagine your friend is terrified of speaking English.
Before every conversation, they expect people to laugh at their mistakes.
You encourage them by saying:
“More often than not, people are happy that you’re making the effort to speak their language.”
In other words, most people appreciate the effort rather than judging it.
