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?

to be honestwhen i used to work for the electricity board half my life was spent looking for houses . The numbering of houses in the UK is not allways logical. Its quite a sensible thing to have your house number prominatly displayed . You may know where you live but how am i meant to find your house among 200 identical ones ESP?
