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?

Thank YouA voice of sanity. I often say this to people, and they think I'm just being picky.
The other problem (if using teabags in the cup) is that if you add milk first, the teabag is now soaked in milk, so not so desirable for slinging in a bin. If they only get emptied infrequently (at my place of work for example) they end up sticking to the bin and stinking the place out.
