Really bugs me when people say 'literally' and mean 'figuratively'. Republican strategist Todd Harris on MSNBC just now: "The thing Palin needs to do is literally reach through the TV and grab those working Americans..." Uhh, isn't that setting the bar a bit high, Todd?
That's like when people say theory instead of hypothesis. If it sounds better, then it naturally makes sense :-P

haha, and when people use 'nonplussed' for 'nonchalant'.or 'decimate' when they don't mean 1/10th.

Wow, that is remarkable that Todd Harris wouldn't understand the English language well enough to understand that what he is suggesting is absolutely impossible.
