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?

You canimagine the faces of the people on the tube as they watched this, each glancing around to make sure they aren't the first to say anything.
And then maybe, just maybe, one person might cough and say "errm, excuse me, would you mind not doing that, it's just my daughters very sensitive".
But more likely everyone would just look at the adverts and pretend it wasn't happening.
