How is it misused? Please explain...

from the link in reply #14 from anon (I know, bear with me).

Usage
In its standard use literally means ‘in a literal sense, as opposed to a non-literal or exaggerated sense’, as for example in I told him I never wanted to see him again, but I didn’t expect him to take it literally. In recent years an extended use of literally (and also literal) has become very common, where literally (or literal) is used deliberately in non-literal contexts, for added effect, as in they bought the car and literally ran it into the ground. This use can lead to unintentional humorous effects ( we were literally killing ourselves laughing) and is not acceptable in formal contexts, though it is widespread.

The guy didnt literally walk into the sword. He did walk into it though. If you want to enhance the sentence you could say "He actually walked into the sword". But let me ask you this. Does the sentence "He walked into my sword" need any other words to enhance it?

Eh, language change constantly. I don't say to someone "Stop misusing that word, it means happy " when they call someone "gay"

Using "litterly" in a sentence like this doesn't really confuse me. Also I'm not a grammar nazi because my English is kinda sucks. it's not my first language.

It's sad times when literally has the opposite meaning at this point. We need a new word to replace it now.

yet you guys use cuck like it's a synonym for "person I dislike"

Don't look at me, now

using Literally as an antonym of itself just falls under hyperbole. you know that, right?

It can still be very impractical as some may see it as a hyperbole while others can read it as being used properly, reading the exact same sentence.

the thing is that it's not the only word that does that. look up Autoantonyms

I know, and I can't think of a good reason why or how that's even a practical concept. At this point we should just use the synonyms so people won't get the meanings confused.

I mean,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_true_homonyms

but yeah, autoantonyms are the thing you have issues with?

you do know what context clues are, correct?

Can't say I really have an issue with them, the point of them just confuses me.

And yes, or at least I believe I know.

Who's to say they won't change that one too?
