literally nobody cares how you feel about the evolving usage of english goes...
btw, the original meaning of "literally" was the same as figuratively... literally as in literature... i.e. fictional, metaphorical...

should we freeze English right now and refuse all new definitions of words? or just accept that it's a living language that changes with its speakers?
