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?

Not really, it makes you ignorant to the wildlife of this fair isle and the surrounding waters.I've lived in a rural area near the coast all my life,
been fishing most of my life,
have plenty of bushcraft skills and
a wide knowledge of flora and fauna.
Fool.
