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 find it very funny that a large number of these posts looking down their noses at the uneducated masses have spelling and/or grammatical errors.
If I can write this hungover on a Blackberry with keys smaller than a mouse's nose, what's your excuse? The phrase "get your own house in order" seems apt here.

But b3tanswho can't spell or use grammar properly generally get shouted at by the hoards of pedants/grammar nazis that inhabit this forsaken hole of desperation.

Firefox spell checker FTWI have decent sized laptop keys and normal sized fingertips (I can also touch-type reasonably well) and yet I still can't do without spell checker.
How was the lovely Ms Lewis on Friday?
