It 's none of your business vs It has nothing to do with you #1 (permalink) Fri Jan 16, 2009 9:52 am   It 's none of your business vs It has nothing to do with you
 

Hello
Could someone tell me whether the following sentences communicate the same idea and if so which one is more commonly used?

It 's none of your business.
It has nothing to do with you.

Thank you.

Hi,

They both have the same idea - possibly 'it has nothing to do with you' is stronger and more forceful.
