I'm pretty sure I've pointed this out before, but people are absolutely destroying the word 'Literally'. Probably 80% of the time it doesn't make sense, and when somebody wants to use it all the meaning seems like it's been taken away.

Does it bother anybody else?

Yeah! We need to reclaim language from people who have butchered English like this, like Charles Dickens, Charlotte Bronte, James Joyce and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

im from finland so no, if people talk that to you in real life then mention your view (but in a way thats really subtle and joking / pondering and not mention you dislike it (so hard)
