unci you might also conduct a search of the WS archive for

dalehileman type-1 type-2

I would perform it for you then provide links but I'm baffled by the WS search algorithm. In short, there's not much value to learning obscure and unfamiliar (type-3) terms because using them regularly will only make you seem snooty. On the other hand, you would benefit from using wherever applicable the more descriptive or apposite (type-2). Of the last there are tens of thousands, familiar to almost everybody but seldom found in everyday conversation (type-1)

Though dividing lines are hazy, where "right on!" "fits," and "suits" might qualify as type-1; "relevant," "apt, or "pertinent" could represent an improvement as type-2; but where "ad rem," "appurtenant," or "cognate" might be more nearly exact, using these type-3 whenever you can only gives you airs

"Apposite" above admittedly falls somewhere between 2 and 3
