    I have an idea for a website. literalpolice.com (I've already bought the domain name) A community of people who care about preserving the power of the word "literally." The site maintains a list of websites and people from the community who are assigned to them. When you are assigned to a website, your task is to have an account with as close to a variant as "LiteralPolice" as possible. You simply read the website as you normally do, and whenever someone abuses the word "literally," troll them for it. With enough community members, we could have literal police on every website! What do you think?

      Check out the literal web log: http://literally.barelyfitz.com/ http://literally.barelyfitz.com/ Sadly, it seems to be dormant.

      I think it's more fun to make emphatic use of "figuratively." As in, "wow, we FIGURATIVELY kicked their butts!"

    @AndyKelley - literally the worst idea since bagpipes.
