I've just started reading you (because you threw your hat in the advisory board ring), and this post just knocked me sideways. I thought it was just me!
(Mind you, I'm now guilty of it occasionally in my writing as well, but that's because I started dating someone who honestly calls me "lover" in normal conversation; it's creeping into my vocabulary... Make it stop...)
Occasional usage is okay, but it drives me utterly bugfuck in most of the universes I read and write in as it's just not a word that makes sense with the worldviews involved.
