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?

Same at my schoolFor awhile all the gals were doing it. I was curious too, since, as you can see, it's in my name (First 'nd last.)
However, as for where it comes from? Why everyone else was obsessed with it? Maybe they just liked my initials, I don't know.
I also doubt they were as fascinated with the geometry as I was. I don't think that's common.
