Square and Circle

Sarah was describing Corn Exchange as 'like a circle'.

It is clearly oval.  It is like describing something square when it clearly doesn't have 4 equal sizes.  It is like describing a pentagon as rectangle.

There are words with very specific meaning, and there are other simple words that can better describe the shape.  It is always better to use better suited descriptive words.

Maybe I should build up Sarah's mathematical vocabulary.
