I avoid the word "sanction" whenever I can because it's an auto-antonym and just too confusing.

Surely, this was an oversight without oversight.

Even so, we ought to cleave to simplicity otherwise the confusion may cleaves us apart.

I see “literally” in the same light.

99% of cases it could be removed without affecting the meaning. Wish browsers could block it. Years back there was the cloud to butt add-on that replaced the word cloud or removed it. I'm just to lazy to look into it for "literally".
