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?

Happened near meWhen a kid I used to teach got in a car when still 16 and piled into a brick wall.
There was a massive load of shirts, flowers and graffiti at the school (he didn't even go there)
I've spoken about this story before and while I'd not wish it on anyone the lad was a massive chav.
There were vigils and all sorts, weird...
