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?

Not a friend, but meI remember as kid that itv in the afternoon was not allowed in our house, bbc only. For some reason it was ok to watch stuff like rainbow though which doesn't make sense.
Admittedly apart from Danger Mouse it was all crap anyway and the folks gave up once we were a certain age.
