Excerpt from Faulty Diction: As Corrected by the Funk and Wagnalls New Standard Dictionary of the English Language
It is further to be noted that while the colloquial, technical, or poetical use of words and forms does not justify their general employment in prose literature, and especially in literature in the stricter sense it is still true that such expressions may be good and indis pensable in their own proper spheres, and that many of them are gradually elevated in the process of use until they become essential parts of the language of the higher literature.
