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?

HmmAll 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...
