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.

Standard testIt's how you tell left footers (haitch) from proddies (aitch) on the Emerald Isle. That's why the driver fo the black cab - almost all IRA linked - in Belfast will ask you to spell some word or other.
