@AncTreat5358 I know, that's Microsoft's fault. Just like calling it "hashtag" is Twitter's. Language evolves, to "decimate" now means to destroy way more than 10%, and "literally" now means "figuratively".

@rhelune @[email protected] "Awesome" can mean "cool" or "Terrifying"

"Cleave" can mean "Force apart" or "Force together"

English isn't hard...

@rhelune @AncTreat5358 IMO "literally" STILL does not mean "figuratively". It does, however, IMPLY "figuratively", given the context of hyperbole, which is a very common trait in the vernacular. However, persuading the average person to care about any of that is figuratively impossible.
