I am currently studing some vocabulary and I am not sure if this is really what I should learn. I am from Russia and in Russian there are very many words from books that regular people don't really know and it's fine. If you could tell me if it's ok for an average native speaker not to know about some of these words, it would be great. Maybe it's not ok not to know them. I don't know, I took them from classical litterature. Please don't think that I'm showing off. In fact there are more than this list but if I knew that English people normally know these words or not I could generalize about other words. Thank you for attention.
