I'm losing all respect for the Oxford dictionary, especially after 'literally' was redefined as 'figuratively'

  Me too. Its sad that they feel the need to do this to appear relevant or trendy.

  Yeah, it totally sucks to have a dictionary that has words definitions that reflect common word usage of the past 20-30 years. And literally isn't defined as figuratively. It is listed as both a synonym and an antonym meaning to figuratively.

  Literally has had that use since the early 20th century. Of course a descriptivist dictionary is going to describe that use.
