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 score two...Well, one and a bit - I've watched a talent show, but it was that Peter Kay one.
Oh, and I'd call my kid Cameron or Connor, but that's because I'm 3/4 celtic and those sort of names feature heavily in the old family tree earlier down the line.
