Yep!
'Minutiae', 'tendril', 'shard' are definitely some for the least-wanted
list.
On a similar topic, anyone else see that list of the Nation's
Favourite Words in (I think) The Express newspaper last week?
Survey of 15,000 people I believe . . . in first place was
'serendipity'. Interesting that two made-up words (from the
Harry Potter series) also made it into the top 10 -- 'quiddich' (sp?)
and 'muggle'. I think 'onomatopoeia' made top 5.
