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?

Got my only onejust before going to the States for the first time. It stayed at the hotel, so if I got mugged, I could lift some money to get through the holiday, or in some sort of family emergency, I could go to the airport and catch the next available flight back to the U.K. and worry about the cost afterwards.
They have their uses.
