The literal sense of the word "literally"?

Yes, I think that's exactly what was meant!

Has the word "literal" been so badly abused across the internet (true) that you thought a correct use of the word needed clarification?

Or is contemplating the fact that Japan's govt. debts are entirely in its own currency, which can be issued at will with no constraint from the financial markets, so shocking and nonsensical to orthodox thinking that you thought that the original statement couldn't possibly have meant what it said?
