Why do people type 'literally' when they literally don't mean literally? It's like they need a word for emphasis and just pick one at random - choosing one that means the opposite of what they mean.
Pet peeve? Yes.
"Literally" is used to tell the reader that the seemingly impossible thing I'm about to say is not meant metaphorically and is not exaggeration ... but is, in fact, EXACTLY true, believe it or not.
They were not, LITERALLY, playing rugby out there.
