There it is, plain as day. He literally just admitted to his crimes.

    It’s literally like language is a constantly changing thing.

      I’m fine with language evolving over time, but words don’t just assume their antonym’s meaning because young people use the internet.

        “Literally” was coined in the 16th century and has been used metaphorically since the 17th century, which is 80% of its history. Not everything began with the internet.

        But… they’re not speaking metaphorically or figuratively in this case. He literally admitted to the crime. No antonymic switchery here, friend.

        The word was coined in the 1500s. It’s been used metaphorically since the 1600s. That’s ~80% of the word’s existence.
