pedantic

literally: This word should be deleted. All too often, actions described as __iterally_ did not happen at all. As in, __e literally jumped out of his skin._ No, he did not. Though if he literally had, I__ suggest raising the element and proposing the piece for page one. Inserting __iterally_ willy-nilly reinforces the notion that breathless nitwits lurk within this newsroom. Eliminate on sight__he usage, not the nitwits. The nitwits are to be captured

But I don't think we shall quarrel about a word - the subject of our inquiry is too important for that.

Autocorrect: making Twitter pedants delete and re-tweet since 2007.
