I’m on that hill too. I now casually use “literally” wrong because culture infested my brain. But I know what I really believe, and I will die on that hill. When words now mean the opposite of what they used to mean, and there’s no other word that can take its old place, that’s language devolution.
[Waves from the other hill] I will never accept that usage of “literal” as correct.
Sees you from a few hills away: Oh my gosh we’re literally right next to each other! 😜
