- lutusp 13y ago> If you think only 14 year old girls make this mistake ... It's not a mistake -- people are free to use words any way they want. Also, the "literally" entry over a Merriam-Webster shows Norman Cousins using the word this way: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally 2 : in effect : virtually <will literally turn the world upside down to combat cruelty or injustice — Norman Cousins> Language isn't a science, it's an art. This is an example of artistic freedom.
