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?

Re: 59Firstly, the first Christians themselves used 'X' as shorthand for Christ, so I don't think you can call it disrespectful.

Secular Christmas has about as much to do with Christ as Thursday has to do with Thor or Monday with the Moon.
