I can't imagine there are twenty people alive who have ever used "concinnity" in a sentence. Now you know why I "wild guessed" 30 of them. Anything over 125 is an excellent score, IMO.

My "everyday" dictionary, the little one volume Oxford American Dictionary, doesn't even have concinnity. I expect it's in the big Webster's that weighs ten or twenty pounds and makes my wrists hurt to use it, or the complete Oxford English Dictionary that is even heavier and needs a magnifying glass to read. But I've gotten lazy and these days just use the Internet, which means that I never really get the etymology anymore. Should probably get a dictionary stand.
