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?

But what happens if there is a financial crisis and each country will need to control their own rates and currency to stay competitive with the US market and, lets just imagine, their next door neighbour who deal in Sterling that they do most of their trade with? It won't? Promise? Ok lets do it!!
