I agree that it is perfectly fine to use the word very. I did have a professor once who called it a “non-word“.
But I also had teachers who said “ain’t“ isn’t a word, either.
Honestly, many of the people who make that claim simply want views or likes on their posts, and are willing to say anything semi-controversial to get them.
100% with you, Katie. I use "very" very often—and I’ve yet to cause an international misunderstanding.

“Ain’t” is non-standard but it’s still real English!
I think you’re right about people wanting views and likes. It’s understandable but confusing for learners.
It's a very helpful for me ☺️
That's good to hear! Thanks for letting me know!
