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?

why?when i was a kid my mum used to give me and my brother a carrot each when we were going round the supermarket. paid for them at the end (am guessing she just gave the cashier an arbitrary amount of extra dosh what with them not being able to weigh said consumed carrots) and that was that.
she had the right idea though, giving us carrots and not chocolate!
