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?

Yep,
Even though I have a love of Rock & Heavy Metal (and all of its sub-genres), I love classical music.
I don't rate the operatic stuff that much though.
I think what you appreciate about it, is the fact that it's played by tanlented musicians, unlike the awful atonal drivel that is modern day "popular music" (sic).
