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?

Quite trueNo such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners.
Mind you, I see no point in owning a dog if it hasn't got a specific purpose.

would companionship count?.

It dependsWhy would someone need to own a Rottweiler for companionship when something smaller and more suitable would do the job?

perhapsthey just fell in love with it at the local spca. But back to the point Its not the dog or the breed (although to be fair some have a particular nature) but the owner . For example i have a fox terrier normally considered "yappy" . Im lucky if i hear a single woof out of her all day.
Unfortantly a lot of people get dogs as little more than a fashion accessory wether to look tough with a pitbull called tyson or trendy with a chiauaua called missy.
