This is a question Common

Freddy 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.

What stuff do you think is common?

in the Britain Frozen Foods commercials.

Actually, I've not a clue. I just assumed there's a frozen-foods retail chain in Iceland called "Britain" and some Icelandic entity says:

"þessi er hvers vegna Móðir hefur til Bretland"

YES!
Clicks just for the use of the Eth and the Thorn. (Is it wrong that I have a favourite letter of the alphabet, and that it's not been used in English since the 14th century?)

I hope not;
for Eth and Thorn are my favourites, too.

Don't really like Thorn
But I want Eths reintroduced as soon as possible.

research
and the fucking trawling around I did for those letters and their respective ASCII codes, until I found they have html names.
