The most annoying thing about people getting annoyed at people using literally incorrectly is they think the person doesn’t know that is what literally means, of course they do that’s why they are doing it, for emphasis, imagine replacing it with figuratively it just doesn’t work

I am the opposite of this thread.

The gf thinks I’m subtly correcting her on this by replying “yes you may”, but I’m not. I can’t help being correct literally all of the time, GOD.

pointing out the popular name is actually the particular brand of thing

tannoy / public address system etc
