Hi David,
Sorry, didn't mean to sound like the Word Police or anything :-)
These are just pet hates -- as someone mentioned, there are
words which seem to appear in poems with surprising regularity
in comparison to their occurrence in speech. Recognisable
'tools of the trade'. Same way as Classic FM radio seems to
assume that a loud dose of Tina Turner will really hit the spot, for
some unaccountable reason . . . . . lazy programming.
