I'm tempted to say simply "stuff it", but here's a slightly more polite response.

A concrete example of my point: both my father and my husband were ("serious", i.e., published) poets; neither one used any BLANK words in his poetry,but both read, and appreciated, poets who did.

Incidentally, I don't use BLANK words myself (except when I hit my thumb with a hammer), but it doesn't matter to me when others do (except when they punctuate every sentence with it).

Carry on!
