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?

It's all to do with hygineApparently (so I was told) you have the roll so that the paper's away from the wall when it's hanging, as opposed to touching the wall.
When you tear off a sheet you're less likely to contaminate the wall with what's on your hands.
Personally I think it's just easier to have the paper haging 5" away from the wall, and you can easily fold the end into a little posh triangle as well :-)
