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?

Gosh you people are sooooo judgemental!I was brought up posh - I'm very honest about this - I went through a world of "common" jobs to work my way thru uni a darned good decade ago - and am feeling a bit prickly about it nows :~
I don't mean to be defending of the chav of the species - they can't help it, but please be nice to those of us that really didn't have a choice...I chopped lettuce for a living at Gate Gourmet, I was the lovely little Room Service girl at a certain Thistle Hotel on the south coast of england - paid my way thru uni via the method of being "nice" to old farts at the labour party conference. Eek - that sounds like I gave blow jobs to old fuckers. That seriously wasn't the case, however I did accommodate them nicely :) mostly in the format of more alcohol & general putting up with their shite jokies:) Want more stories, then memo me :)

You tell 'em!Not all common is bad. For example, look at all the joy Spimf is missing by thinking women dancing in bare feet is a bad thing. I guess that means he won't ever have a wife that dances naked. The poor man.

I think you're missing the pointI haven't seen many posts moaning about people just because they work hard at shit jobs that someone has to do. I've seen plenty about people being childish, inconsiderate, whining twats, especially the ones who can't be arsed to even do a shit job to earn a bit of cash, as you (and I) did.
