I blame primary teachers who teach the basics. We're there for refinement and style.
I continue to be amazed that people can be so upset about this, and allow the figurative use of every word in the English language except 'literally'. People don't reserve the same ire for the figurative use of 'actually' or 'really', so they can climb off their high-horses about 'literally'.djchump wrote:If dumbfuck misuse of "literally" to mean "not actually literally, but heavily emphasised metaphorically" is now acceptable, then surely it's a matter of time before more dumbfucks redefine punctuation such that the more there is of it, the more emphasised the result???!!!?!?! Nip it in the bud reg; kill them all.
Hurr durr, that's what I was talking about. Climb off your own high horse there fella.adkm1979 wrote:I continue to be amazed that people can be so upset about this, and allow the figurative use of every word in the English language except 'literally'.

The real travesty is the inclusion of the figurative use in the dictionary, which really isn't needed.djchump wrote:If dumbfuck misuse of "literally" to mean "not actually literally, but heavily emphasised metaphorically" is now acceptable, then surely it's a matter of time before more dumbfucks redefine punctuation such that the more there is of it, the more emphasised the result???!!!?!?!

It's not remotely what you said, though. If you're going to call people dumb fucks, it's best to make sure your own house is in order first.djchump wrote:Hurr durr, that's what I was talking about. Climb off your own high horse there fella.

Well, yeah, obviously.EvilRedEye wrote:I think you're equating reasonable and conventional with PATRIARCHAL AND HETERONORMATIVE there. I, for one, feel that Reg's entering into a state-endorsed marriage with a white woman rather than entering into a non-legally-recognised holistic 'marriage' with a black African pansexual genderqueer (but male-leaning) refugee from Uganda has rendered his life a hollow worthless husk. Also, he should be teaching those kids to BREAK DOWN THE SYSTEM rather than English or media studies or whatever it is. We won't be needing territorial, gender-biased English in the beautiful borderless one-world society of the future.Skerret wrote:adkm1979 wrote:Well, you've succeeded by any reasonable, conventional measure at life so, you know, everything is relative.
