Australians are taught to avoid this word at all costs. I remember a teacher in primary school telling me there was no sentence where the word "get" couldn't be replaced by an alternative (implication: superior) word. Being something of a smart-ass, I responded by writing a sentence about the word, making "get" necessary.
Of course, she was simply urging her students to broaden their vocabularies and, more important, seek out powerful and specific verbs. Good on her!
