Always assumed, if u have to preface this you are often not telling the truth.To be honest or if I’m being honest
Very true and not just on this board!You know that more often than not, they are actually taking a perverse pleasure in saying it.
I find it annoying when ordering in restaurants people say to the server, “I’ll do the” instead of saying I’ll have the...
I could never get this one correct so I literally stopped using it lolUsing “literally” when the description is figurative. I had an employee one time tell me about a then-recent event that had occurred in her life, and she exclaimed that it “literally killed me....” I chose to let it go, but it was a struggle.

I hope you never become a customer of mine. I'm always using "Inclement weather" when keeping my customers informed. We've recently run into some Inclement weather thus we will be delayed.... In case of inclement weather we will start your job.....As a weather guy I must admit to hating the term “inclement weather”
not so much a phrase but rather a word I dislike intensely 🤷🏻♂️
I still use it and probably don't use it correctly 80% of the time. Luckily I don't know any English Majors or Teachers to give me that side eyed and shaking head look.I could never get this one correct so I literally stopped using it lol
I use it too and know I use it incorrectly quite often. I tried to think on the actual "rule" and know that it is in "the name" literal as in literary but still get it wrong.I still use it and probably don't use it correctly 80% of the time.

That’s both hilarious and sad...it won’t surprise me if idiotic “texting” short versions of words become accepted as wellLanguage is dynamic. Common folks use whatever words they want however they want to use them. The lexicographers follow.
That is literally what has happened with "literally". It had been used incorrectly by so many for so long, that the dictionary writers said F-it and made the wrong usage right!
The Merriam-Webster dictionary now has two definitions for "literally".
George Carlin famously told us that there are 400,000 words in the English language, and only seven that you can't say on TV. (Probably more than that now, but I digress.) But there's literally only one word in the English language that is its own antonym. Literally.
- The traditional definition, based on the root word "literal".
- A new definition "used in an exaggerated way... that is not literally true or possible."
