My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

This is wrong but not that common"Thunk", as in, "I'll have to have a thunk about it" or "What's your thunkin' on that, then?"
and "Sheeps" - I always say "sheeps" to confuse English learners.

andpeople who say "think" instead of "thing", "everythink" instead of "everything". I've even seen "everythink" in people's posts on internet forums (aside from this post).
