(I see it was meant to be indirectly expressed violent censorship against the use of 'literal' in rhetoric speech... That without a carefully respectful use of 'literal' we will lose the irreplaceable "safe word" out of the bondage of figurative dungeons. Very considerate. Root_axis, rushed writing and reading defies a subtlety hidden in "dad jokes"...)
The meaning of the word has changed. If everyone uses it incorrectly is it really incorrect?
I don't think it has changed, and it's not true that everyone uses it incorrectly.
