CommonFreddy 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?

I'v e heard, on radio, from an educated book-plugger,the word 'misled' pronounced as 'missuld'. That's more ignoranter that 'awree', which you could pass off as the way your Scots granny said it.
