Don't be too Lemmy bubbled, we talk alot about it here for us to know it but I think it's an advanced enough word for people with only a high school education not to know.

I'm more impressed that people in the South tuned into the speech.

People with a 5th grade reading level*

I wanted to see if you're referring a vocabulary list or just being a snob so I looked it up. If you go by grade, that word generally isn't covered until a student gets a social studies class, usually in high school.

That's not to mention any adult English learners out there where this wouldn't exactly be a priority word.
