The joy of new words

Just learned a new word – "inconcinnity" – which apprently means 'lacking congruity or harmony; the quality of unsuitability'.

It would help my self esteem if any of the readers of this blog were also able to acknowledge their semantic deficit in relation to this word! I thought it was a typo at first 🙁

    I didn’t know it! That said, it’s a very acoustically pleasing word!

    I have seen it, would not use it in public, eminently forgettable. There are many words in our language such that whole paragraphs could be written that we would not comprehend.
