If you find the word "wrong" disagreeable, you could say "stigmatized", for instance. The point is the same: "haiga" is generally best avoided.

I used the word "wrong" as that has been my experience of it here. Mexicans will tell you it's wrong or it doesn't exist.

If you see it as a variation then by all means use it but you need to take into account that you're going to sound vulgar and/or uneducated.
