I'm okay with this as with most of Steve's points. But
"genericness" is not a word :o). -- Andrei
Merriam Webster says otherwise ;)
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/generic
But that dictionary doesn't matter, the OED is the one true keeper of
the English language.
Sure it matters. If it's defined in M-W it should be defined in OED.
What DOESN'T matter is the wiki-style dictionaries that have popped up
everywhere.
From what I can see genericity is not officially an English word
Well, there I found genericity too (and notes that is used especially
for technical references, which means it's probably more appropriate),
so apparently that is OK, I rescind my edit :P
