polarness
Eh ? I actually don't understand what the word means in that sentence.
However, dictionary.com does give quite differend definitions for
simplicity
(http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=simplicity) and
simpleness
().

Yeah, hence the snigger, cos I made the word up. It means the degree of being polar. I thought it was such a good example that it should be used anyway regardless of whether or not I made it up.

Frankly, I hadn't heard of gullibleness, austereness, or anything... I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Won't be doing that again :)

Austereness is a real word as is vulgarness.
I thought it was sufficiently close to the old joke "Did you hear they've taken the word gullible out of the dictionary?" that it had to be used.
