There's also more than meaning for "literally" these days.
- mpyne 14y agoThat only makes it more likely that what was said has a semantically correct meaning though (or is that what you meant?).
- bennyg 14y agoHe meant that there is literally only one definition for literally. Any other use of the word cuts away at its meaning (like what happened in that context).
- prof_hobart 14y agoNot really. It is literally something that binds the internet together (i.e. one of the common definitions of the word glue).
