This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

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?

Learn English.
"Your" does not equal "you're".

Common scum.

Agree with you, actually
Bad spelling & grammar makes me cringe, too. It suggests you either don't know any different or you're too lazy to read stuff back to yourself, either of which is indeed common.
