How do u feel abut using "hopefully" to mean "I" "one" "we" "he" etc. hopes.

"Hopefully" as an umbrella adverb has become part of the lingua franca but is considered less elegant than "I..other personal pronoun... hope." "I hope" tells you who is taking responsibility for the hoping. Maybe I am hopelessly outdated; I still hate the use of "impact" as a verb rather than "effect."
