not read post
Like many people I use "literally" its so-called colloquial sense, but it carries a coloration of intentionality? As in someone is literally doing X not as metaphor and not in actual fact, but rather if they understand their actions to represent and/or facilitate X. To me the word ascribes malice or premeditation rather than as-writ factuality.
