My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

Eerrrrrrrrfirstly, it wasn't a rant. It was a uneducation generalisation. If you read my posts with Fuckarma you would quicky realise that my grasp of world history is limited at best.
Secondly, in Billy Elliot the miners didn't want to go down as they were striking due to something (I really don't care what) and that's where I got my information from. Oh man I hope Billy Elliot didn't lie to me.
