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?

I have such an aversionMy list of cars to avoid has grown however, rovers (old people drive these), bmw's (same as mercedes'), definitely 4x4's, van's (white and now silver) and so on, until the only car I'm happy being anywhere near as I ride home with my full body in tension is the Hyundai Getz, never a nicer class of driver.
