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?

Couldn`t agree more!I'm so glad i read as far as your message! I was getting so angry that i thought i should stop before i popped!
I think calling someone common in the first place is an awful thing to do and was reserved for pre 20th century Aristocrats, who lets face it, were nob-ends.
I think most people wrote about how they hate poor, ignorant or stupid people...which is harsh but is going to happen... It's the ammount of people who think Regional accents are common that got me?! Show me someone who HASN'T got a regional accent!?....anyway....
Sorry for ranting as a reply! Just wanted to say thanks for saying what (I hope) most of us are thinking!
