Let me rephrase: Common use. And, really, that's not totally true anyway
-
new formations replace old, [For instance, the proper formation
"furiosity" is
fading with people using "furiousness"] etc.
================================================================
Do you mean ferocity and ferociousness? I can't say that I've ever heard
anyone using either of the two words above but both of the ones I've cited
are real. Could easily be misused, though.
