Most 10th graders in my school would have difficulty pronouncing these words, let alone using them in a sentence.
I used to pride myself on being above that (HAHA LOOK AT ME I CAN USE SAT WORDS IN COHERENT AND INTELLIGENT PHRASES) but now I just feel stupid.

hiya ... my tenth graders have trouble pronouncing them, too ... the other day one created a sentence something like "When he cut me off in traffic I responded with a string of harsh euphemisms." ... nice oxymoron ... but i've got my work cut out for me ... they also came to believe (thanks to our unclear textbook) that "effete" meant "tired" ... so we ended up with sentences like ... "After running thirty laps and dropping for twenty, we were certainly an effete team."
