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?

NoIf your number is 0207xxxxx you can dial 7xxx and 8xxx numbers without the 020.
For example, if you live in the 01623 area code, you can dial any other 01623 number without the area code.
Of course, as most people dial the full number any way, it's not too big a deal.

Hmmm...I know about the last part of how the telephone system works, but thanks all the same.
