    On one hand, inappropriate use of language like “literally” bugs me too. On the other hand, difficulty understanding other English speakers is an attitude thing.

    If you don’t know what a word or a new use of a word means… you should find out.

    Trying to assert that language should stay the way it was when you learned it is frankly lazy.
