My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

Perhaps, but it isn't giving you a platform to say anyone who doesn't talk like you sounds like a thick pikey.
It makes you sound incredibly narrow-minded.
Yes, you qualified it with a badly-written caveat above, but do you seriously judge people by the lilt in their voice?
Everyone's got an accent. Even you.

I'm not getting worked up.I was terribly unamused by your post and subsequent qualification.
You need to learn to accept criticism.
