If they're little known then the readers won't know them - and they're hard to look up in a dictionary, even if you wanted to distract your reader long enough to do that. Even the humble semi-colon gets a bad-rap with some readers. (And mostly I just see those in the article as another form of adverb

)

ETA: Interesting link though, thanks.
