Why do people keep adding this to their comments? Are they checking notes? Why do they feel the need to point it out if they are? Why are they saying they are if they aren’t? It’s like me adding “scratching head” to my comment, which I just did, but I have no idea why that adds anything to the conversation.

    OK but the dictionary literally modified the definition to I clude “figuratively” because language is alive and unwell

      That “modern” definition of literally is at least 250 years old. It wasn’t created by the internet, or even any living person.
