Subterfuge

On a scale of 1-10 how common is the word 'subterfuge'? The reason I am asking is because I wanna know if I should bother memorising it or not.

Hi, It's certainly not a word that you encounter every day, but it's not rare either. It's likely to be more written than spoken. Clive

You'd do better to forget the "word" wanna than try to remember relatively obscure words if you want your writing to be taken seriously.

Sorry for being blunt, but I have a HUGE problem with people putting time and effort into learning English and our putting time and effort into helping with that task if they are going to descend to gonna, wanna, u, dat, r, etc.
