The word 'concinnity' Sat Jul 05, 2008 11:55 am  The word 'concinnity'
 

Hi

Could you please use the word 'concinnity' in a sentence for me? I looked up its meaning in several dictionaries but could not understand its use.

Thanks,

Tom

His accent is in concinnity with his style.

What I meant to say is, style and accent are two different parts, but somehow share the same element so they are in concinnity.

Does the sentence make sense? Can somebody comfirm that I've understood the word concinnity correctly?

Many thanks,
Cantik
