" Linage, btw, refers to the number of lines in a print ad.
Do I win a prize?

Fraid not: that's 'lineage'. No idea what linage is. Maybve it's what lines are made from?
503 - and I didn't tick the words I'd heard/seen and might more easily recognise in context, or those spelled incorrectly. Or perhaps I should say 'unfamiliarly'. Or maybe not - it's not an easy word to say...
We have, I should think (although I'm no expert) a larger vocabulary of understood words than those we use.
