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 was lucky to have the use of a little car,which I used to venture up to the very top of the nearest hill. There I found a small village that wasn't full of english, and also a building site.
It seems that most of Benelmadina is a building site, actually.
