This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

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?

Spitting in public
Good grief, can you not keep your saliva in your mouth instead of expelling it all over the floor? Why do some people feel the constant need to keep their mouth excessively dry. The only situations in which this is acceptable is if your mouth is bleeding profusely, or if you have some kind of hideous disease of the oral cavity, in which case, why haven't you been to the doctor yet?

And its ten times worse if you're spitting chewing gum onto the pavement.

Exactly
and even more despicable when a teenage girl does it.
