Harmless, that is, unless it makes your readers see you as a pompous,
ignorant snob with pretensions of aristocracy. Which is a possibility.
As it's also possible they'll sneer at you as an lowly, ignorant guttersnipe
with pretensions to literacy. Sometimes you just can't win for losing. ;{>} But
still we try.
Have fun,
