Yes; I agree with you entirely, and so does somebody else who commented on Statto’s blog!

I appreciate that the language is changing, and I embrace it.

But this (mis)use of the word still annoys me. To me, “literally” doesn’t mean what it’s being used as, which causes the conflict. I understand that in the end this is a mere conflict of opinion, but I also believe that I will be seen to be right in the end, in this particular case.
