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?

yesI used to go on caravan holidays too. Not "common" at all in my opinion. We used to go because we couldn't afford to go overseas. I think there is a VERY big distinction between being "common" and being "poor/not well off".
Common is more about the attitude while you do something. I think...
