    There is a fascinating (depending on your level of English language geekdome) discussion of the proper usage of the word "myriad" here ... http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/20133/what-is-the-correct-usage-of-myriad.

    I learned something. (And now, after reading through some of that, I will be even more tentative when using it.)

    I love (and use) the word persnickety! Another that comes to mind is picayune! = 1. Of little value or importance; paltry. See Synonyms at trivial.
    2. Petty; small-minded: "It had seemed picayune to get all bent out of shape organizing the household chores" It was also an old Spanish coin, worth very little.

    Not necessarily underused, but I really wish we could use gay interchangeably with joyful.

    Confuzzled. It's actually a word I made up myself. It's a combo of confused and puzzled. I use it a lot with my kids. :smiley:
