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

I object!The white bits of my trainers are whiter than my teeth. This is largely because they rarely exit the cupboard where they live save for exercise (or 'training'). They're mostly black, anyway.
I know what the inside of a holding cell looks like! We went on a trip to a police station at cubs. I suppose that really means that I know what the inside of a holding cell looked like twenty years ago, and my memory of that is a mite fuzzy. Alright, you win.
