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?

Thanks.We were kind of expecting two, they were 84 and 97 which is a more-than-respectable innings and makes for awesome wakeage (being Irish and all, a non-tragic wake tends to be a celebration of life and a life-affirming event) but my wee cousin's death as a result of complications from his Marfan syndrome was a dreadful shock.
Still not as horrific as your loved ones badly decomposed remains being discovered in the woods, though.
