I think it falls into the same category as "utilize." It's a real word with a real meaning, but is so
frequently misused that depending on your
situation it may be best not do anything that
might encourage others to use it.

In most cases, "function" or "feature" can be substituted with less risk of malapropism..

Any opinions about using the term "functionality" --
or not?

Certain audiences seems to have a strong aversion to
the term, others not so much.

Are there alternative terms that you prefer?
