Curious, though, that the same dictionary defines LITERAL thusly:

1a : according with the letter of the scriptures
b : adhering to fact or to the ordinary construction or primary meaning of a term or expression : actual
c : free from exaggeration or embellishment
d : characterized by a concern mainly with facts

2: of, relating to, or expressed in letters

3: reproduced word for word : exact, verbatim

VIRTUAL? Apparently not.

Turning the adjective into the adverb magically gives it the opposite meaning? The dumbing down of the English language continues unabated.
