However, adhering to it with every connection in a way that suggests it is is not appropriate, as it falls under the category of an additive innovation (bid'ah idafiyyah). But if one says it out of an ill omen or pessimism, then this is reprehensible, and many texts have been narrated prohibiting ill omens.
