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?

Much as she sounds utterly detestableShe's thankfully quite "uncommon".
It irks me no end how the incurably feckless seem to get looked after courtesy of both the state and the taxpayer. I'm not advocating having them exterminated or anything, but forcibly made to work for a living at gunpoint sounds acceptable to me.
