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?

GoldGold used to be the rich thing of desire. The first thing you think about when presented with the word 'treasure'.
Nowadays it's more the mark of the Chav. 'I may be pushing a pram around poundland, but I've enough gold round my neck to cause serious back issues in later life'
(just got our wedding rings ordered - white gold for her, paladium for me :))

Hoopla!White gold is the way to go... BUT it does need taking in every year for a bit of a scrub, or a plating or whatever they do. Cos it tends to go a bit yellowy....Congrats and all that jazz!
