LITERALLY the best post ever.

We literally changed the definition of Literally.  Literally USED to mean take something seriously, but now it mean figuratively.  It was first used, not by someone on Twitter, not Facebook, even farther back than MySpace!  It was first used out of context by Frances Brooke, in 'The History of Emily Montague'. In the September 2009 edition of Oxford-English Dictionary, Literally was defined as ‘used for emphasis rather than being actually true’ such as ‘we were literally killing ourselves laughing’.  Fiona McPherson, OED Editor of Oxford-English Dictionary states, "Our job is to describe the language people are using. The only reason this sense is included is because people are using it in this way. Words have changed their meaning ever since the first word was uttered. Meat used to mean all food but now its sense has narrowed."  The video I included does have cursing in it, but it show how people are using it wrong.  Have you used literally wrong?  If you have any ideas of future posts, leave a comment.  Thanks for reading.
