ok, you curmudgeonly Luddite. Here are some words that were at one time inadmissable to poetry and elevated writing

belittle

dug (as opposed to 'digg'd' or 'diggèd')

neither (as part of the "neither...nor" construction as opposed to "nor...nor")

either (as part of the "either...or" construction as opposed to "or...or")

Legs (briefly in victorian england)
