'Literally', not the word it's self, just the way people over use it. Literally means literal. Correct example of word usage; 'She counted up to three hours, literally. 'She' has actually counted the amount of seconds in three hours. Bad example of word usage; 'He literally could eat a whole country.' No, 'he' couldn't! It is impossible for 'him' to eat a country. Therefore, it is used in an improper way. I was listening to the radio at a restaurant, and apparently it's been overused like this so much, that they changed the definition in the dictionary. (Not sure if this is true, though.) Wow. That really bothers me.
