Ok, please stop using the word literally

It has been dubbed America’s most misused word. Also yes, I know I will get “clever” replies in this thread using it multiple times. Grats on originality.

“Literally” should not be used as a synonym for actually or really - Saying something stupid like “I literally died laughing” means you actually did die. I just read someone posting and saying “Literally no one finished the quest, well except for the Monk”. OK, then change it to “Only the Monk finished the quest.”

I defer to Inigo Montoyo: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

That is all. Tomorrow we cover the proper use of their, there and they’re.

I hate when people accuse others of misusing words, not knowing they have multiple meanings.

Edit: I’m sorry for being rude.
