But you can't use the phrase "quite literally"? or "in a very literal sense of the word", or some variation of those?
If this is what has you pacing in distress, I'm envious.
- afarrell 5y ago> I’m envious Well I’m also getting divorced, for reasons that aren’t entirely unrelated to literal communication.
- BoorishBears 5y agoThat's more paceworthy I'd say, at least compared to the natural evolution of language continuing as it has for all of recorded history.
- afarrell 5y agoI’m not objecting to the natural evolution of language in general. I’m objecting to the specific loss of the word “literally”.
- BoorishBears 5y agoSo you're objecting to the natural evolution of language.
