  • In the secondary, new-age definition of “literally” yes that’s true.

    We lost the war for “literally”. It’s now just an emphasis word. The definition is mind bending:

    1)in a literal manner or sense; exactly.

    2)informal; used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.

    On the bright side less people use “absolutely” incorrectly than before.










  • I got a fine for not getting my bus ticket stamped in Florence, Italy. Apparently if you paid it the same day it was one price and that price doubled after a week, month, etc.

    Didn’t matter the machine failed when I stamped it because it was out of ink. I even tried to stamp it in front of the officer. He said I could appeal it in person in court. They know tourists aren’t going to appear in court to appeal. I felt scammed but after calming myself down and paying the fine the officer apologized and told me in a few words he hated his job.
