And now, Something many people apparently did NOT learn in college...using the word "literally" correctly. Why must people do this? I just don't understand. Don't they know what literally means? Example: "I was so scared I literally died!" Really? That's pretty impressive if you died, and you're here now. To tell about it. Since you literally weren't alive before. I'm just sayin'...

Thanks for making me laugh Katrina! I literally chuckled, and I really mean literally!

Haha! I was looking up something else on Answers.com and also looked up "literally". It states:

Usage problem:
Used as an intensive before a figurative expression.

Don't we know it?!?
