| Apr 17, 2019 at 10:01 | comment | added | moltarze | @WendyG Agreed, but I still think that literally is one of the best common words to use. It depends on the context. | |
| Apr 17, 2019 at 9:47 | comment | added | WendyG | the trouble is that the word literally is literally overused for everything and no longer really has that meaning. | |
