Vocabulary
"for quite some time" vs. "for a relatively long time"
I just want to express the role of a certain phenomenon in a given field of human knowledge, which has been discussed for decades. So, what would be my better choice here "for quite some time" or "for a relatively long time"? Thanks in advance!

Either is possible. The first is more colloquial, but it depends on context as to which fits the tenor best.
