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?

"Get a life"I see that phrase bandied around a lot. What does it mean? What sort of "life" does a person have to lead in order for them be be deemed, to you, to have a life?
And possibly, and maybe more pertinantly, why the fuck should we get a life that is deemed acceptable to you? Everyone is different, and if we all lead the same life as your illustrious self, it would probably be pretty damn boring.
