CommonFreddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."
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?

I'm with EuroSongIt's still the thin end of the wedge, isn't it.
Like when you see a post on an infoweb page (not necessarily b3ta, I might add!) that contains an obviously incorrect spelling, followed by '(sp?)'.
You're using a computer. Look it up. Don't just advertise your laziness by admitting that you couldn't be arsed to type a word into dictionary.com.
