I'm never going to understand how you're supposed to do that trick where you tie a knot on a cherry stem with your tongue. I've only seen it done in manga. I'm thinking it has to be a Japanese urban legend.

Put in a shaker Tonari no Seki-kun and Popeye the Sailor, shake and you get this.

FWIW I think nitpicking about the meaning of "literally" sounds like pedantry.

Learning English is pedantic. The way the world is going better learn Russian or Chinese.

Lots of people use that word solely for emphasis.

Lots of people have poor communication skills.

It's not a problem, since it's fairly simple to figure out which usage is being implied in each context.

OR people who speak gibberish could learn to speak correct English so that everyone else won't have to waste valuable time trying to figure out from the context what the devil they mean.

One or the other, I guess.

People should literally chill out about that.

People like the moderators?

I might be old school but (until the day they invent telepathy) I think it's worth it learning to speak and write a language.
