It annoys me when people use the word literally incorrectly

  • people kinda did that with the word random awhile back. they use it for "spontaneous", "various", "unusual", "nonsensical" etc. still kind of annoying to hear people say like "that's so random!" about everything unexpected, in the same way it's annoying to hear everything is "literally". but that's just how people are!

    • Oh ye I remember that. I think in the case with how literaly is used, it would be like someone using the word random to mean pre-planned or certain.

      • Yeah it's also annoying when they use literally for things that don't even have any other meaning. like "i literally agree with you" lol. it basically just means "seriously" or "i shit you not" these days
