Am I the only one that thinks "Literally, no one" every time I see the title?

I didn't think we had any of those on the forum. At least not vocal ones. Though... there are probably a couple of people on the forum that are "with" him. So I guess I'll have to start thinking "Almost no one" every time I see it.

As I tell my teenaged kids: ‘literally’ should be used far less than you think it should. I feel like their generation has weaponized the term (but not literally weaponized).

I am well aware of that. When I use it, it's almost always a conscious decision. In this case, I'd actually forgotten about the couple of forum members that are likely to be in agreement with the subject statement.

Their generation's use of the term has become an official definition.

Literally now literally means virtually.
2. : in effect : VIRTUALLY used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible
