In Response To: Literally (Albert Steg)

I'm with you, Albert, (although I didn't write the damn headline so I'm not sure who the "you" is you were referring to in your reply to me), about the debasement of the word "literally". But if you're an English teacher you should know that the language is constantly evolving and you'll be as successful as King Canute was in keeping his feet dry if you try to stop it.
