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.
