Interesting, yes I've been reading similar things from linguists who literally say that at a certain point usage overtakes original meaning, literally.
I know quite a few Brits who are real abusers of this term, "LIT-RALLY". I think they like it because it's a punctuator of their conversational point and it's dramatic. But is it more annoying than those people who pause for a dramatic buildup before finishing their point or worse those dreadful posters on ATC who put an ellipsis in their subject line? |
