That was funny! I literally did sort of a half giggle and then got distracted by the internet.

Here's a sentence that I hate in any capacity "I literally..."

Just about any words could be places after those two and I would cringe. Here is a fake statistic:
95% of the people who use the word "literally" are using it wrong.

But even now, it's to the point where any time that word comes up, I wince. I always second guess it. I always have a mental debate with myself: Okay, did she really laugh for thirty seconds, because it seems pretty reasonable. Let me count out thirty seconds in my head.

That's a lot of seconds!


And even if it is reasonable and they totally are serious about whatever it is they're talking about, I still think "blech." I know, it's horribly rude of me. I really don't dislike the people who use it, I promise.

BUT I will most likely never use this word. And if I do, what I'm saying is completely accurate and without exaggeration. Literally.
