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?

*empathises*i was told this week by the jobcentre that i don't fall into the right category to be eligible for free IT training because i don't live in 'a disadvantaged area' (i.e. the council/HA estates around here) and i'm not a 'disadvantaged candidate' (i.e. i'm not a registered addict or ex-offender).
i was raging by the time i left :(

can you...go to your doctor, explain the situation and then say that you have a serious caffeine / pain killer addiction (something innocuous)? If they refuse to take you seriously, sue the fuck out of them for discrimination....
