Literally being incorrectly used as figuratively triggers me
No one uses 'literally' to mean 'figuratively'. People do use a hyperbolic form of 'literally' as an intensifier, but it doesn't mean 'figuratively'. As it is almost always flagrantly obvious when someone is using hyperbolic 'literally', it can exist perfectly well alongside literal 'literally'.

Now, the one thing about the English language that I do take issue with is the use of 'candelabras'. That's a plural of a plural, and it's literally wrong.

The problem with the internet today is that it's filled with entire generations that did not grow up with the great wisdom of the Wyld Stallyns.

Oddly it bugs me more in writing (posts on Facebook for example) than just hearing it spoken.

I guess cause I can see how stupid it looks.

I remember someone tried insulting me saying I wrote too professionally on social media. And I was like bitch I don't even use proper punctuation I just use real words and actually fully spell them out.
