My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

I've been saying it wrong?!"Tissyou" sounds a bit Hyacinth Bucket to me!

In my defense, I moved here when I was six months old, so my parents just picked up speech patterns from those around them. Although they now think I sound posh.
