This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

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?

I just couldn't think
of any other Ford owned car company than Jag and Volvo- and I did acknowledge that Jaguar wasn't owned by Ford anymore!

From what I've heard, the Probe's uncommon because it was vastly overpriced. It is, however, a rather nice car. Smooth engine, 1997 spec so it's an all-leather interior which is comfy (300 days on the first day I got it and I have less of a twinge in my back than I do getting up from bed).
And the Americans didn't like it because their fuel prices had fallen, completely swiping the market from under its feet. If they'd been able to stick a V8 in the thing it'd have done much better!
