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?

Haitch isn't a word.Aitch is a word. It doesn't begin with an 'H', any more than (say) 'eff' begins with an 'F'.

You mean to say'eff' doesn't have a silent 'f' at the start.
To think I've been pronouncing it wrong all this time.
