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 look at this qotwin the same way as I do any other, as a good excuse to attempt to amuse people. I am working class rural Scottish through and through, I was divorced at 27, I have a tattoo (tastefully hidden, mind) and my ex had a tramp stamp, I don't think I could ever be considered "classy", yet there are billions of things I find tacky, low and dammit, downright common. It's human nature, it's why God invented burberry.

Yeah, again"Common" to me means "lower class", not "tacky". Meeeh. Maybe I'll just shut up and go away :S
