Mm, you could probably leave out "literally" and end up with a more powerful, effective statement ,When I say "literally" in a sentence the "wrong" way, I'm using it in a hyberbolic way. So if I say "I'm so hungry I could literally eat a horse," I'm just using "literally" to exaggerate.
Absolutely. I absolutely understand what you're absolutely saying here. Absolutely.Hmm, I don't say literally much. Actually, I say "actually" a lot. Literally, I do.

Me? I don't overuse any words, as far as I know.
Actually, Imzadi, if you actually have something to actually say to me, you should absolutely just actually literally come out and actually say it. Absolutely.Well. . . umm, actually. . .

I have a coworker who always says "that literally cracks me up"...and I can't help but imagining her literally cracking up.....
Please for the love of Disney, stop saying "literally" in every sentence! Especially when you use it incorrectly 99% of the time.
AHHH!!!
Thanks.

"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to literally die."
This is such an awesome thread. Doesn't hurt that the "Princess Bride" reference connects with the shirt I'm wearing. It's actually a "PB" shirt, believe it or not.
As for using the word 'literally', I hear it used in the wrong context so often at work, that I have to keep reminding myself how to correctly use it. Otherwise I'd be just as bad as them.
Despite referencing Disney, I'm 100% certain the OP was posting a general vent at everyone who misuses the word - not just DIS posters.why? why does it bother you? it's an internet forum, not a thesis paper or a resumer
