What does “literally” indicate or emphasize in this context?
You used it above, and here, in a way I can’t tell if the sentence is different without the word or if I should take some meaning from it.
- jiofih 6y agoProbably not the best word for it, but it’s clear he is emphasizing the fact he owns both machines, and is reporting first-hand experience and not just blurting out an “informed opinion”.
- smoldesu 6y agoI think Apple users employ the word "literally" to insinuate that they don't actually own the device, but they've seen their favorite apologist tech-tubers run some comparisons and really liked what they saw.
- graeme 6y agoSlang/incorrect use. Used to show emphasis. A better use would be: “I literally have the best intel mac and the m1 air beat it” In that case it is literal. OP probably just switched it over to a case where highlighting literal ownership is superfluous.
- Applejinx 6y agoBad choice, I admit. What I was driving at is, 'we're not talking about stuff I saw somebody do on youtube'
