>you said it's "more common" but didn't bother to explain how you arrived at that conclusion

if you scroll down and check out the old comments you'll see robin scott mentioning a 2014 survey where the "ゆっくり" meaning is indeed slightly more common
this survey is also mentioned by daijs

i don't want to create a long discussion so this will be my last comment, but yeah i don't feel like my edit was unmotivated

It essentially was as you said it's "more common" but didn't bother to explain how you arrived at that conclusion. Kokugos very rarely lead with senses that are considered incorrect or colloquial when there's a more "proper" meaning that's still in common use.

"ゆっくり" is the more common variant as noted below, even if not by a lot (as noted by daijs too)
even daijr and jitsuyou that don't outright call it "あやまり" still start with with that sense

Thanks for the suggestion, but a better case is needed than an anonymous "I think".
