To put it simply: I don’t. I don’t like the word utilise. Instead, I /use/ the word use. It’s a great word, use, it’s very short—one syllable, and easily conveys the intention. While utilise can also convey the meaning, it’s wrapped up in this air of pretentiousness that just isn’t needed.

I don’t utilise the word utilise, I use the word use.
