Within the field of philosophy, the usage is a fairly normal term, much like ‘reptile’ or ‘sex’ are normal terms for most people. Much of my vocabulary comes from that field and I am most comfortable using its terms. ‘Metaphysics’ is one of many problematic terms which are evocative to me, because I understand how these terms are used. Asking someone who studies philosophy to stop using ‘metaphysics’ is like asking someone who studies biology to stop using ‘species’.
However, it is your prerogative to use whatever terms you prefer. I am sure that we are both trying to be pragmatic.
