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?

define 'lots'I have a fair few aunts and uncles and as a result i have qute a few cousins.
im not posh but just because my family are pretty sound and i do havfe some stuff in comon with my cousins of a similar age does this make me common
i dont spend all my time in their pockets (i live in a different country) but when it comes to christmas, new year, birthday parties, someone to meet up with for a chat and a brew- why not call on the family
note: also good for favours- movin house, trying to fix your car etc...
dont knock it
