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?

And the DANCING...!As a fairly new father of one luverly little lass, I've been reintroduced to much childrens telly of late.. (too much, my brain is melting. Please help me.)
And in one such program (I can't remember which one) I watched, in horror, as a whole bunch of pre-schoolers were taught, I kid you not, to 'Push it out' and 'shake their booty'.
I mean, these 'dances' are bad enough when teens perform them, let alone small children!
I wanted to slap the 'teachers' involved in this debacle.
Ok...I just read that back to myself. Someone shoot me as I appear to have become old.
