How does one abuse words appropriately?

Good abuse of notation (extended to non-formalistic settings as well), can be quite inspiring, but that is a rather non-standard use of the word 'abuse'.

But of course I have to agree with you about "good abuse" of language, it is an essential aspect of my job after all.
