Is “super stable” correct English?
A user quoted one my posts on another forum, and said I should have used the word "very" instead of "super". He also said I am corrupting the English language by doing so.
Sentence:
I have a AlphaRacks VPS on QN. It's been super stable so far. I've
only had it for around a month though.
I am not an English major at all, and so I'm curious if this is true and should I stay away from combining the words super and stable?
Thanks in advance

It's been super stable so far.
super adjective infml Cambridge Dictionary & TDF
excellent; extremely good, great, extreme, first rate, very large
So someone objects to the use of an English word (yours) and rather you use their English word. Super is an effective adjective and your use to my sense is good and proper!
