This is a question Common

Freddy 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?

Hmm
All valid points. I could be considered common as I smoke, drink, have a piercing (albeit a terribly boring one), drive a old car, shop at Asda and Aldi...

I disagree about there being a right way and a wrong way to do things though. As my post earlier this week says, you do not assault your host's daughter in your host's home...
