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?

Am I allowedto click my own posts? :D
And thanks for the support, guys. I was expecting to get shot down for taking myself too seriously and not accepting the spirit of the board (i.e. be cynical, self-serving and look down on others. Which is fine, so long as you're doing it in post-modern irony, which many on this QOTW don't seem to be doing, for some reason.)

Seems like this QotW is just a good place to rant.Everyone needs to blow off a little steam every once in a while, and this QotW in particular seems to tailor to that need.
Just a matter of looking at things from a distance, and not get too involved in whatever people here are ranting / venting about.
And in all honesty, to me, it's a new and quite interesting side of B3ta ;)
