Annoyingest: People who get butthurt over the misuse of "literally".
what gets me is when people use "ironic"
about 3/4 of the time i hear "ironic," it is used incorrectly

You know how when you read a specific word so much you begin to question the meaning, validity, and existence of the word?..
That just happened to me scrolling down the comments.

i hate it when people say 'Physically' and 'Actual' too much.
'i feel sick' become: 'i actual feel physically sick'

ACTUALLY it's completely grammatically correct to use "literally" in a hyperbolic sense.
as long as it's obvious that what you're saying can't actually happen (like literally raining cats and dogs), it is perfectly fine to use "literally" for emphasis.
Merriam-Webster
"1: in a literal sense or manner
2: in effect : virtually
Since some people take sense 2 to be the opposite of sense 1, it has been frequently criticized as a misuse. Instead, the use is pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis, but it often appears in contexts where no additional emphasis is necessary."
suck it, faggot OP.

It is a figure of speech. Do you also go up to people who say they've got butterflies in their stomach because they're excited about something and start interrogating them?
"Wait, did you actually eat butterflies? or do they just grow from your stomach? I'm fairly certain they didnt grow from your stomach because I'm smarter than you are because I am too literal (oh... oh wow) to understand a metaphor so common that people associate it with error due to the existance of another word..."
It's about emphasis
I bet you can't read shakespear without cringing...
